From Seed

From Seed

From Seed is an at-home passive hydroponic growing kit, providing its customers with everything they need to get started with hydroponic plant care while helping to restore native flora to our national parks. First and foremost a social design project, From Seed benefits the currently underfunded National Parks Service by replacing an invasive plant with a native one for every kit sold.

Each From Seed kit correlates with one of the five following national parks spread across the main ecoregions of the United States: Yosemite, Congaree, Grand Canyon, Acadia, and Yellowstone. While all kits contain a starter passive hydroponic setup including a pot, rockwool, nutrients, and watering can, the kits also contain seeds for three different plants native to the park that kit corresponds with. For example, the yucca plant is native to the area Congaree is located, so yucca seeds would be one option available to customers purchasing the Congaree kit.

In addition to the growing tools and materials, the kits also contain a limited-edition bandana featuring an illustrative map of native flora to the associated park and an educational booklet discussing our parks service, the environmental impacts of invasive species, and how we as individuals can help combat the issue.
