Wild Seed Project

A nonprofit organization based in Portland, Wild Seed Project works to increase the use of native plants in all landscape settings in order to conserve biodiversity, encourage plant adaptation in the face of climate change, safeguard wildlife habitat, and create pollination and migration corridors for insects, birds, and other wildlife. 

Wild Seed Project shares information and brings people together around native plant conservation and horticulture through our interactive website and annual magazine, Wild Seed. We also ethically collect and sell seeds of wild and uncultivated forms of native plants through our online seed sale, and educate the public on propagation techniques for native plants at a variety of events. In addition, Wild Seed Project collaborates with scientists, landscape designers, ecological restorationists, land trusts, gardeners, schools, and interested citizens on a variety of community projects such as planting pollinator corridors and native gardens in public and private spaces, identifying native plants, and training in seed collection and propagation.
