Organic Seeds

Having started to finally save seeds from my plants growing here, I am now thrilled to know the origin and growing conditions that produced those seeds. You see many seeds are not grown organically. What does Organically Grown Seed really mean? What are the major benefits of Organically grown seed?

Organically grown seeds have benefits of coming from plants that have NEVER been sprayed with Chemicals of ANY kind (namely insecticides for herbicides). The reason this is so important is that Sprays become systemic in the plant and thus the seeds from that plant As well as residual). Yes they often cost a bit more but are worth the extra money for a number of reasons.

One reason for using Organic Seed is that it promotes better plant health. Typically Organic flower seeds have been grown on very healthy soil, using practices that build fertility with organic matter, compost and natural fertilizers. as a result the plant’s seeds are stronger and more resilient to environmental stresses, pests, and diseases. They can better withstand drought and humidity changes.

By choosing Organic seeds YOU too are less exposed to chemicals which can be residual and affect your health as well.

Organic flower seeds have access to a rich array of nutrients from the soil they are derived from. The end result being a higher nutrient content in the seeds produced which would contribute to their higher levels of overall health and vitality.

All this, ultimately helps preserve Biodiversity! Those same organic seeds produce plants that are not toxic to the Pollinators whom our Planet requires.

Sustainable, health conscious choice for All Gardeners! One big Ecosystem which we are a small part.
