native seeds
Regional plant origins
Native seeds are seeds from plants that evolved naturally in a specific region, as opposed to species introduced from elsewhere.
Conservation efforts use native seeds to restore ecosystems: The prairie restoration project relies entirely on native seeds.
Native seed banks preserve genetic diversity and regional plant heritage.
Gardeners choose native seeds to support local pollinators and wildlife.
