Seed Sale Announcement

The Wild Seed Project online store will be closed 9/19 - 10/3 as we prep and pack our 2023 seed species and update our website. 

Our seeds, merchandise, and publications will be unavailable to purchase during this time. Memberships will still be available for purchase and online donations are still accepted. Information pages specific to each seed species will remain visible as well.

We’re excited to share that our new website will be live for the seed sale this year! You will be able to sort seeds by germination codes, light and moisture requirements, browse collections, and much more. 

In addition to easier site navigation, our new Native Seeds of the Northeast merchandise collection will launch with the sale. We are proud to offer locally printed organic cotton t-shirts and tote bags featuring hand-drawn native seeds by local artist Isabella Zoe Ciolfi

Thank you for supporting Wild Seed Project. If you have any questions in the meantime, please email us at shop@wildseedproject.net.
