OUR ROOTS
At Ask Seeds, we are passionate advocates for the planet, dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of native plants and their pivotal role in our ecosystems. Our journey began with a simple yet profound realization: traditional landscaping practices, especially the widespread use of grass lawns, are not only environmentally unsustainable but also a burden on resources and biodiversity. Motivated by this insight, Ask Seeds emerged as a beacon of knowledge and inspiration, guiding individuals and communities towards more eco-friendly and sustainable gardening practices.
Our mission is to empower gardeners, landscapers, and environmental enthusiasts with the knowledge and resources they need to transform their green spaces. We explore the vast world of native plants, uncovering their unique characteristics, benefits, and the vital role they play in supporting local wildlife and habitats. Through our blog, we offer comprehensive guides on the selection, care, and advantages of native plant species across various U.S. regions, alongside practical advice for water-wise gardening and creating habitats for local wildlife. By sharing success stories of native plant projects and urban green space transformations, we aim to inspire a greener, more sustainable future, one seed at a time.
