If you’re on the hunt for a cherished heirloom variety or eager to try something new in your garden, this post is the perfect resource for sourcing seeds. I’ve compiled a list of seed companies from my regional series—covering the West Coast, the Canadian Prairies, Central Canada, the Atlantic, and Northern Canada—into one convenient location.
Below, you will find quick lists of companies in your area. For photos, descriptions, and details about each company’s specialties, click the link at the end of each section to access the complete regional blog post. If I’ve missed a company you love, please DM me or fill out this form so I can add it! I hope to keep this list as up to date as possible.
A Quick Note Before You Shop
I recommend trying 2 to 3 new seed companies each year. Seeds that are grown on-site in a climate similar to yours are often well-suited to your growing zone. While most seeds can thrive with basic care, if you live in a cold climate like I do, seeds bred in warmer zones may require a slightly adjusted seed-starting schedule. Lastly, if you are looking for specific types of seeds (such as organic or open-pollinated), always double-check the company’s website for the most up-to-date information!
