Choosing the right seeds for vegetables, flowers and herbs

To start your seedlings

Choosing the right seeds directly influences the success of your vegetable garden, flowers and herbs. Vegetable seeds such as tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, peppers, squash and pumpkins make it easier to plan harvests according to available space, the season and your preferred growing method.

To diversify the garden

Flower seeds, organic seeds, local seeds, Canadian seeds and heirloom varieties offer more possibilities for creating a productive, colourful and lively garden. Some varieties also attract pollinators, bees and butterflies while helping add biodiversity to the garden.
