With dandelions, daisies are one of the first flowers we learn to identify as a kid. It fits perfectly into wildflower bouquets, and can even help us find our soulmate: they love me, they love me not, they love me, they love me not...
Moreover, the young fresh leaves can be eaten in a salad. Their taste is a little peppery. The flower bud can also be eaten, raw or like capers. In herbal medicine, dried daisy flowers are used for infusions. Daisy have antispasmodic, calming, digestive, and astringent properties, just like chamomile. It makes sense as they are from the same family.

Common comfrey is widely used in organic agriculture as green manure. It can also be made into comfrey liquid manure or added to compost. This helps with soil fertility and thus plant growth.
Comfrey is also very popular among bumblebees and other bees that thoroughly enjoy its sweet nectar.
The plant easily reach a meter in height. The stem is a little prickly, and the leaves are large, alternate, pointy, and covered in hair. Above all of this, shoots grow where pink or purple flowers bloom in the middle of summer.
*For better germination rates, the seeds should be stratified. To do this, place the seeds in small bag full of humid sand of soil, and put the said bag in the fridge for 2 weeks.
*This comfrey is not Russian comfrey (such as Bocking 14). Russian comfrey doesn't produce seeds and would therefore be tricky to sell in seed packages.
Warning. We advise against regular comfrey consumption. The plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can be toxic for the liver in high dosage.

Some seeds from this plant were gifted to us by a friend claiming that they were called 'Ail de Caroline'. We do not yet know the exact identity of this plant, but we keep searching.
This small perennial plant is hardy in Quebec. It is very similar to garlic chives, yet it is not the same. The stems and leaves are slightly bigger, and have the same delicious taste as regular garlic and can be cooked the same way. Although it does not produce any significant underground bulb, the white base of this plant can be cut and eaten as garlic, just like the leaves.
Its purple flowers are gorgeous and are in bloom from July until the end of August, to pollinators' delight. This plant is ideal for permaculture gardens.
Not to be confused with with regular garlic nor wild garlic.
Package: 80-100 seeds

Usually, the rhizomes are used as they contain the most saponin; their decoction can be used as laundry soap. Additionally, it is a perennial plant and has pretty flowers, pink and slightly fragrant, which are in bloom all summer long. The plant spreads by rhizomes, creating nice flowering patches.
