    From Seed to Shipment: Preparing the Perfect Seed - Garden for Wildlife

    In our first video of this series, you got an overview of a native plant’s journey to the Garden for Wildlife customer. In this second video, we’re diving deeper into the very first step in the process: preparing the perfect seed.

    From hand harvesting, cleaning, stratifying, germinating and transplanting, it can take years to make it all happen. We’re grateful to our regional growers who are committed to transforming high quality seed into the beautiful blooming native plants which are critical in providing wildlife with food, cover and places to raise their young.

    Don't forget to check out the last two videos in this series:
