Our Seeds

We supply widespread, common grasses and shrubs (Karoo bossies). We collect wild seed and also grow some of the seed in genetically diverse populations in seed orchards. We partially clean the seed and sell it by the kilogram. It has not been treated with pesticides and is therefore safe for wildlife. 

We advise our clients on the seeds most suitable for their geographical area and habitat. We also provide advice on site preparation and on when to sow the seeds. This seed is primarily used for the restoration of Karoo veld on farms and on construction sites, by engineering and hydroseeding companies and lifestyle farmers. Other clients include landscapers working on large private or commercial properties, hotels, guest farms and company offices.
