Sharing Seeds.

It's the simplest of acts. It spreads kindness, hope, wellness, and joy. Placing a seed in the hand of another means you
empower them in countless ways. From a seed you can grow food, a flower, or a shift in perspective.
Seeds feed us, lift our moods, and, quite literally, save our health, and the health of the planet we inhabit.

​In the coming months, we hope to inspire you to experience all that seeds have to offer, and in turn, we hope 
you'll share your seeds and experiences with others. Keep an eye out here, and on social media as we grow
our collection, and expand our offerings for the greater good. Below you'll find growing instructions for
our seeds, seedlings, and the occasional recipe for the bounty we share. Happy growing!
