Northeast Native Seeds

ABOUT OUR SEEDS
Wild Seed Project seeds are ethically sourced, hand-collected, cleaned and packaged by staff and trained volunteers in Maine. Seeds are collected from native gardens and private lands with owner permission throughout the state, and are organically grown without the use of harmful pesticides. We carry over 90 species of wild-type and open-pollinated wildflowers, ferns, grasses, and shrubs for a variety of growing conditions. Unless otherwise noted, each seed packet contains 50 - 100 seeds.

We're still out in the field collecting and processing seeds. Out-of-stock species will be replenished as seeds are harvested, cleaned and packaged from September through December.

SHIPPING
During our busiest season (October-January), orders may take up to 6 weeks to ship. Our tiny team is grateful for your patience!
