Thank you, West Coast Seeds!

One of KidSafe’s key areas of focus for the 2021 summer break programming was nature-based learning. This meant lots of time outdoors, planting onsite community gardens, and an amazing partnership with West Coast Seeds who kindly provided hundreds of seeds. 

West Coast Seeds was founded in 1983 and continues to follow the principles of community and philanthropy. We are incredibly grateful for their contribution to KidSafe’s focus on providing nature-based learning and supporting nutrition education as part of KidSafe’s food security program.

“West Coast Seeds believes, first and foremost, in the principles of organic growing and sustainable agriculture. Namely, we believe that food and all plants should be grown without the use of synthetic chemicals and that the seeds we supply are an important component within the broader conceptual approach to organic gardening. We believe that growers are custodians of the land they grow on — however large or small — and that by nourishing the soil through organic gardening techniques like composting and crop rotation, the plants they grow will be more vigorous, and less demanding. We believe that food should be grown in healthy soil. We believe that promoting biodiversity is an essential element of healthy farming.”
