Camelina

Camelina, also known under many other names such as gold-of-pleasure or false flax, was once grown to feed both humans and animals in Europe. This herbaceous annual has actually been used to produce fodder and oil for over 3000 years. It can also be used as green manure.
More and more, camelina is regaining popularity for various reasons. The oil produced from its seeds is rich in omega-3, making it a favorite in health stores. Its yellow flowers are great for pollinators. Its strong taproot is very helpful for working compacted soils.
On top of it all, you can use it to make a biodegradable broom!

Catnip
Perennial plant originally from the Mediterranean basin (potentially from Egypt), naturalized all over Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. If the name includes the word 'cat', it is because this plant induces a strong reaction in most of those domesticated felines. They become euphoric and very excited; they will start rolling and sniffing around, and will do many other funny things. For humans, catnip is instead used to soothe pain and unrest. It is also relevant to mention that, before the British Empire discovered tea in its Chinese colonies, infused catnip was a favorite for the royal court. *This year, we were not able to harvest sufficient catnip seeds. Therefore, our seeds come from Jardin Vie-La-Joie. Package: 150 seeds (Germination is slow and sporadic, sow more than you need to obtain enough seedlings.)

True Lavender
True lavender, or narrow-leaved lavender, is the most valued type of lavender for the olfactory quality of its essential oil. Formerly used by the Romans to perfume their clothes and bath, lavender is now a classic for all. The word lavender comes from latin, "lavare" meaning to wash; people were using it in their laundry water. The plant has now managed to adapt to Quebec climate, and can be grown in our gardens to our delight. Package: 60 seeds *This year, we were not able to harvest a sufficient quantity of lavender seeds. A part of the seeds come from the farm Jardin Vie-La-Joie. Our plants should reach maturity in 2020!
