Shido Seeds

Shido seeds, arrive vacuum-sealed like precious artifacts from some horticultural future where failure simply isn't an option. Each packet is accompanied by instructions so precise and comprehensive that even someone who once killed a plastic plant could coax life from these tiny specks of possibility. No more late-night Google searches leading down rabbit holes of conflicting advice from self-proclaimed plant whisperers in Minnesota. The vacuum sealing isn't just clever marketing - this technological touch ensures that each seed maintains its potential, waiting patiently to transform ordinary dirt into something worth bragging about at neighborhood barbecues. 

The beautiful illustrations are inspired by actual Japanese style seed packets. The description and instructions for each plant are on the back of each packet, along with a QR code that leads you to more information!
