Market Gardens

Being a living seed bank, our aim is to safely store and share seeds that promote the preservation of biological diversity and the conservation of rare and endangered crops. We have been practising sustainable gardening methods for decades, which produces seeds resistant to pests and disease that are notoriously tastier and more nutritious.

A passionate gardener since he planted his backyard in Montreal at age 13, Dan Jason is committed to empowering people to grow their own food and save their own seed. Since 1976 he has lived on Salt Spring Island, BC, where he created the mail order seed company Salt Spring Seeds, which specializes in heritage and heirloom open-pollinated and non-GMO seed varieties of vegetables and plants.
