Green Journey Seeds is a cottage industry created from the ground up! These seeds are organically grown on our small family farm, south of Veneta, Oregon.From Amaranth to Zinnia...this is garden grown goodness for the Pacific Northwest!

At harvest time, we gather, dry, clean & sort our seeds. During the fall and winter, we test for germination and hand pack our best seeds for springs to come. Local gardeners love the original illustrations and seed saving tips on our homemade seed packets. Thanks to the generous support of our community, this seed-saving passion & handiwork has endured for over two decades.

Pick up a selection of packets from our seed racks for stocking stuffers. Send a gift of seeds with our unique seed greeting cards.Each holds a pack of Green Journey Seeds. The embossed cards are 50% sugar cane/50% recycled fibers with 100% recycled paper envelopes. A gift set of 4 Seed Greeting Cards keeps on giving!

Green Journey Seeds are sold locally at Down to Earth (532 Olive Street, Eugene), Sundance Natural Foods (748 E. 24th Avenue, Eugene) & Kalapuya Books (637 E. Main Street, Cottage Grove).

I joined the Eugene Saturday Market and enjoyed meeting folks and showing my seed work yesterday 4/7/17. It was a good test of my handcrafted booth, as the day brought wind, rain and even a couple of hail showers! Even so, I managed to keep the seeds and seed cards dry. Thanks to all the folks who braved the storms, sales were good, too. Feeling grateful for Eugene Saturday Market, the nation’s oldest open air artist’s marketplace!

Heirloom Fragrant Bi-colored Sweet Peas

As the rain clouds disperse and soil saturation lessens, we prepare the garden for not so early plantings of our favorite flowers, edibles and medicinal herbs. Heirloom Sweet Peas sown in pots in the greenhouse in January are ready to extend their roots into the earth and grow! Directly sown in your cool spring soils, now, these fragrant beauties will provide some of the earliest booms of summer.

Send a gift of seeds to a loved one with a seed greeting card. Choose a variety from our seed collection, click on the heading and choose the "seed pack w/card & env." option. We can send your chosen gift to you or personalize a seed card with your message and mail it to your recipient with your return address. We are shipping orders within a weeks time.

Love, Aline

   Have you met this vivid red star of yesteryear? Once popular in Colonial American gardens, our Zinnia pauciflora foundation seed was sourced from the historic gardens of Monticello.

   We have joyfully grown and saved the seed of this lovely heirloom flower in our Green Journey seed garden here in Oregon's Coast Range for several years now. This Zinnia is easily grown from seed and fairly tolerant of our drier summers, thriving in the heat of July & August.

Small-flowered Heirloom Zinnia in her present glory…all buds, blooms and fresh seeds to gather!

Love, Aline
