ARE YOUR SEEDS ORGANICALLY GROWN?
Yes we use no pesticides or other materials on our plants. We do use liquid fertilizers during the year which are still under debate by the organic standards commission. These do not in any way effect your seeds.

WHAT IS SEMI CLEANED SEED?
Semi cleaned means that not all the plant material from around the seed is removed. Doing this is very time consuming and labor intensive so for seeds where this is the case we leave the more difficult to remove debris and give you a much larger portion of seed. This keeps down the costs to you and us and gives you a more generous seed amount for your money.

WILL THE MATERIAL IN MY SEED BE A PROBLEM?
No it's just bits of plant material from around the seed that cannot be easily removed. Just plant the seeds in the way you would normally the plant material will just decompose and become organic fertilizer for your plants.

WHY DON'T YOU CLEAN ALL YOUR SEEDS?
Some seeds are very difficult to remove from their associated plant material. You either need lots of people doing it manually or very expensive and hard to find machines. To keep costs down we do not remove such material but offer it in a semi natural state. One of the main reasons seeds are expensive is that they are so hard to clean up. Leaving material with the seeds allows us to provide you with seeds at much lower cost and larger quantities.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY SEEDS?
All our seed packets come with an growing instruction sheet to make things easy for you. This information is also posted on our website along with photographs of the plants so you always know what to do and what your plants will look like.

WHY DON'T YOU OFFER MORE VARIETY?
We are a very new, small company. As we grow our farm we will be offering more and more choices and varieties.

FAQ FOR DRIED FLOWERS.

WHAT IS A BUNCH SIZE?
Bunch sizes vary from plant to plant. All our bunches are represented in photographs along with a scale - we use a US quarter - so you can see exactly what size the bunch is. There is a set of photographs for each type of flower, and each size that we offer. Since flowers are natural material each bunch is unique but your bunch will be as close as possible to the size, fullness and weight as the one in the photograph of the size you select. Wherever possible we also tell you how long the stems are. In this way you can ensure you get the length of stem necessary for your project.

WHY DON'T YOU DO BUNCHES BY STEM COUNT?
If the plant material is of uniform size we do. However most plants do not have uniform sized heads and many are branched. Using stem count could result in some bunches being much fuller than others. To combat this we attempt to make each bunch the same fullness of head size and count. In some cases this many mean having 40 stems to a bunch where heads are smaller and less branched while another bunch may have 10 stems but have large heads or be more branched. Using this method we attempt to ensure that all bunches are as uniform as we can make them.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT COLOR THE FLOWERS ARE?
Color is almost impossible to represent correctly on the internet. It involves a lot of complex calibration of our machines AND yours. Most people don't want to be bothered calibrating their monitor for color it's time consuming tedious and can be expensive.
Therefore we have tried to match the colors of our flowers to paint chip samples. The collection we used is Behr Premium plus collection available at Home Depot. Each plant in our catalog comes with a description and a paint color number. All you need to do is go to your local Home Depot and check out the colors. We used Home Depot colors because they seem to have the widest distribution so it should be easy for you to find color samples.

CAN YOU MATCH THE FLOWERS TO ANOTHER PAINT SAMPLE?
No. It takes a long time to match the flowers to the color samples which is why we picked a range with thought most customers would have access to. We can't do custom color matching or find another sample pallet that is closer to your home.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY DRIED FLOWERS?
Do not place flowers in bright or direct sunlight, the colors will fade. Dried flowers are more brittle that silk ones so some care is necessary. Keep away from pets to ensure their beauty lasts. Use a hair dryer on low cold to blow dust and dirt from plant displays, or use a plant cleaning spray for silk and dried flowers available in many craft stores. Dried flowers do not last indefinitely but with care their colors and beauty can last for many years.

ARE YOUR FLOWERS ORGANICALLY GROWN?
