The Seed Man

As I sat in on keynote speaker Joe Lamp’l last week at the Independent Garden Center show he touched on a number of great ideas and suggestions.  One point in particular that he stressed was differentiation.  You need to differentiate yourself from the competition.  It really struck a chord and reminded me of how unique and special our wildflower seed products are. 

100% Pure Wildflower Seed, Always!


We’ve all seen the “meadow in a can” seed products at our favorite big box store. Don’t be fooled by the nice packaging. Did you ever look at the percentage of pure seed that are in these products?  You’re lucky to get 20% and the rest is some sort of filler.  All of our wildflower mixtures are 100% pure flower seed, no fillers!  On average, our mixtures contain 20-30 varieties vs. 10-15 in mixtures found in large retail merchant mixtures.  All of our seed is lab tested to ensure the highest quality germination rates.  We network with growers and suppliers across the country with fresh seed arriving weekly. Everything we sell is 100% guaranteed.
