HOW DOES YOUR
GARDEN GROW
ORGANIC = Our seeds are all Australian grown, organic (wherever possible) with the very best quality sourced. Organic seed production focuses on soil and plant health by using natural fertilisers and pest control methods rather than anything synthetic.
Non-GMO = None of our seeds are genetically modified. Rather they have been created through a process of open pollination - out in nature, rather than in a lab.
Open pollination = Seeds that have been pollinated by wind, travelling insects, birds and people or other natural means. The benefit of this process is that seeds will ‘breed true’, meaning the plants will closely resemble the parent. This allows the species to continue through future generations.
