Who we are

Our primary business is the production and sale of hardy native and exotic seeds. We produce yearly retail and wholesale catalogues containing a wide selection of unusual herbaceous and woody plants.

We supply seed to individual gardeners, commercial growers, botanic gardens as well as other seedhouses. Seed is grown on site and also collected in the wild. While our business is strictly mail-order, our special "Connoisseur" seed packs are available at select gardening shops throughout Canada.

Our business is located on 8 acres, south of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada where winter lows can reach -35°C (-31°F). Since our modest beginnings as a "dining-room operation" in 1991, we have grown to have a worldwide presence, currently conducting business in 22 countries.

In addition to seed, we offer a unique line of gardening and seed products and remain the only Canadian source for GA-3 (a germination stimulator).
