The Natural Gardening Company was started in 1986 out of the belief that gardens and landscapes should be models of environmental integrity. We established the first certified organic nursery in the United States, and we proudly offered a comprehensive selection of certified organic seeds and certified organic seedlings for vegetables, culinary herbs, and flowers. By virtue of our unique and careful product selection, we are leaders in the field. Today our specialties are certified organic plants (vegetable, herb, and flower seedlings), certified organic seeds, and drip irrigation supplies. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
Native Seeds/SEARCH The NS/S Seedbank houses (for future generations) the seeds of crops and wild plants traditionally used as food, fiber and dyes by prehistoric and more recent cultures inhabiting the arid southwestern U.S. and northwestern Mexico. More than 2,000 different seeds are offered, representing traditional crops grown by Apache, Chemehuevi, Cocopah, Gila River Pima, Guarijio, Havasupai, Hopi, Maricopa, Mayo, Mojave, Mountain Pima, Navajo, Paiute, Puebloan, Tarahumara, Tohono O'odham and Yaqui farmers. More than a half of the offerings are corn, bean, and squash (aka the three sisters). They also have some seed assortments and they offer products other than seeds (on their website), such as dried beans, posole, salsas, chiles, etc. They have some interesting links to other sites, as well. I’m excited that they are offering devil’s claw seeds, of which the dried plant pods are spectacular.
