The Diamond Family.

Since 1983, West Coast Seeds has sought to meet the growing needs of home gardeners and market farmers alike.Β 

Today, under the stewardship of the Diamond family, we uphold our strong reputation as a leading seed supplier, seeking out the highest quality untreated seeds for organic growing.Β 

The British Columbia-based Diamond family businesses have spanned four generations, led today by Craig Diamond. Since Craig’s grandfather Jack Diamond came to Canada in 1927 as a young man and purchased his first business in 1940, the Diamonds have been engaged as ethical leaders in business, follow the principles of community and philanthropy set by Jack and his late son, Charles. The values of West Coast Seeds resonate deeply with the Diamond family, and they are committed to upholding this tradition.Β 

Our Guarantee.

Non-Genetically Modified

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have been engineered by introducing the genes of unrelated species. There are many concerns about the results and ethics of genetic modification or engineering. Unlike hybridization, genetic modification cannot occur without human intervention. As a founding signatory of the Safe Seed Pledge, West Coast Seeds does not knowingly carry or sell any GM seeds.Β 

Seeds Per Gram

Our seed counts (seeds-per-gram or s/g) are estimates only, as set out by the Government of Canada Seeds Act. Seed counts vary with each harvest and lot. These seed counts are useful as estimates and do not always reflect exact counts.Β 

Chemical Free

Some seed companies treat their seeds with fungicide and pesticide chemicals. Growers on massive industrial scale farms may wish to use treated seeds to reduce the chance of crop failure due to a sudden cold snap or unusually wet spring weather. Treated seeds are often dyed bright colours to show that chemicals are being used. West Coast Seeds does not sell treated seeds of any kind.Β Β 

We know that organic gardening practices mitigate the challenges faced by gardeners and growers in a way that is more sustainable and better for our planet, creating a thriving ecosystem in even the smallest of container gardens.Β Β 

Germination Standards

West Cost Seeds is a member of the Canadian Seed Institute and part of the Canadian Authorized Importer/Exporter program which follows strict standards. All the seeds we sell meet or exceed the Canadian standards established by the Commercial Seed Analysts Association of Canada for seed quality. The number found at the bottom of each seed envelope refers to specific lots, used for quality control and traceability.

How we've grown.

West Coast Seeds was founded in 1983 in Vancouver, British Columbia, with the purpose of sourcing and supplying seeds of the highest quality. And that we have done, while following the traditions of organic farming and gardening.Β 

We offer over 1,100 varieties of untreated, non-genetically modified seeds. For us, organic is about much more than saying no to chemicals, it is about saying yes to building a healthy soil for the future.Β Β 

As we build a healthy future for our planet, we also build a healthy future for our company, by employing passionate advocates for the environment who are ambassadors of the shared values of our global gardening community.Β Β
