Organic Seeds are Here!

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012

For all home and community gardeners, now’s the time to start planning what you’ll be planting—it won’t be long before we’re all tilling up our plots!

If you enjoy growing fruits, veggies, herbs and flowers from seed, we’ve got a great selection of  High Mowing Organic Seeds available in our produce department—right now, the selection we have on hand is fantastic!

According to their website,  High Mowing Organic Seeds states good reasons for choosing organic seeds:

  • Seed crops are heavy users of synthetic agricultural chemicals (they are in the ground longer and have less chemical restrictions than food crops).
  • Seed produced organically will yield plants that are more adapted to, and more likely to thrive under, organic growing conditions.
  • Increased demand will lead to an increase in variety selection and development, and increased availability of more organic seed!
