We're committed to environmentally responsible practices at every step of our journey.
At Native Seed Co, we're dedicated to distributing native Australian plants throughout Australia. By making these seeds accessible to gardeners everywhere, we help restore biodiversity, support native wildlife, and create resilient ecosystems across the country.
Every native plant grown from our seeds provides habitat for native birds, bees, and butterflies, while also being naturally adapted to Australian conditions—requiring less water and maintenance than exotic species. The widespread distribution of native plants strengthens our environment and preserves Australia's unique botanical heritage for future generations.
We've implemented practical, effective measures to minimise our environmental impact while supporting Australian biodiversity.
Our entire catalogue is Australian native species, chosen because they support native wildlife, suit local conditions, and enhance biodiversity wherever they're planted.
We source through a partnership with the country's longest-standing native seed specialists — nearly a century of expertise behind every packet. Seed is wild-collected and grown in dedicated seed production areas, with practices that preserve genetic integrity and protect the long-term health of native populations.
We use a combination of cardboard based boxes and paper envelopes for our seeds, all designed to be lightweight and protective. Our packaging materials are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable.
Our packaging is thoughtfully designed to protect the seeds while minimising waste. We're constantly looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint without compromising on quality.
Because our products are naturally lightweight, most shipments qualify for Australia Post's letter rate. This keeps transport emissions and postage costs down while allowing us to reach customers across Australia efficiently.
We optimise our shipping methods to reduce environmental impact, combining orders where possible and using the most efficient delivery options available.
We provide detailed plant care guides on our website rather than including printed materials with each order. This allows us to offer more comprehensive information while reducing paper usage.
Our online guides cover everything from germination techniques to ongoing care, with specific advice for different Australian climate zones. This digital approach ensures customers always have access to the most current information.
Beginning with FY 2025‑26, we will publish an annual sustainability summary on our website covering key metrics like seed quantities sold, packaging materials used, and estimated freight emissions.
We believe in establishing a clear baseline before setting reduction targets, ensuring our sustainability goals are realistic and measurable rather than aspirational.
We regularly review our suppliers, packaging designs, and operational practices to identify opportunities for improvement. Customer feedback plays an important role in this process.
We implement changes that genuinely reduce environmental impact without compromising seed quality. We believe that consistent, incremental improvements lead to meaningful long-term benefits for the environment.
Native Seed Co's environmental approach is practical and suited to Australian conditions. We focus on achievable, measurable improvements that make a genuine difference.
By specialising in Australian native species, we help preserve and expand our country's unique biodiversity. Our seeds support native wildlife and enhance urban green spaces, creating more resilient gardens.
Our seed comes from wild collections and dedicated production areas, handled with practices developed over decades to preserve the genetic integrity of each species. Every lot is cleaned, processed, and tested for germination in laboratory-grade cabinets — the same standard of care trusted by restoration ecologists and government revegetation programs across Australia.
Our packaging is thoughtfully designed to protect seeds while using recycled and recyclable materials. We continuously look for ways to reduce material use without compromising product quality or customer experience.
Beginning with FY 2025-26, we'll publish annual sustainability metrics to establish a baseline for improvement. We believe in setting realistic goals based on actual data to ensure meaningful progress.
