It’s That Time of Year Again!
Get ready to dig in! Whether you’re looking to bolster your backyard habitat or support large-scale restoration, KinSeed Ecologies is bringing a specialized selection of seeds to Seedy Saturdays across the West Kootenay. Our seeds are sourced from local ecotypes, ensuring they have the genetic diversity and adaptive potential needed to thrive in our unique regional climate.
In addition to our seed offerings, we are proud to be representing the Native Bee Society of BC (NBSBC)! Stop by to learn more about provincial pollinator advocacy, how to get involved in citizen science, and the vital work being done to protect our wild bees.
Why Local Ecotypes Matter
Specialist Bee Support: Many of our native bees are specialists, meaning they require specific native plants to survive. We’ve selected species that provide the high-quality pollen they need.
Host Plants for Lepidoptera: Support the next generation of butterflies and moths by planting the specific host plants their caterpillars require.
Climate Resilience: Locally adapted seeds are better equipped to handle our regional weather patterns, making your garden more resilient and sustainable.
