Why Beanstalk Seeds?
There are THREE MAIN REASONS why you should to get your seeds at BeanstalkSeeds.com:
1. Grow With Your Family
With so many distractions competing for kids’ attention, parents are seeking new and fun ways to connect with them.
At Beanstalk Seeds, we’re introducing a new generation to the fun of growing your own fruits, vegetables and curiosities. Our easy-to-grow, kid-tested seeds and kits make gardening a great way to “grow” with your family!
-Easily start and grow each of our seed varieties.

-Deepen children’s knowledge and interest in science and nature.
-Teach healthy eating habits that last a lifetime.
-Support community and school gardens for low-income families and students.
2. Dirty hands mean a healthy life…. for everyone.
Beanstalk Seeds is a product of Kansas City Community Gardens. KCCG is a nonprofit organization assisting low-income households and community groups in the Kansas City metropolitan area with producing their own nutritious vegetables and fruit from garden plots located in backyards, vacant lots, and at community sites.
All proceeds from Beanstalk Seeds go directly toward helping families, urban schools, and community groups that we serve. So while your Beanstalk Seeds are growing good health and fun for your own family, they’re doing the same for low-income families through your support!
3. Your one-stop shop
At BeanstalkSeeds.com, you can find everything you need all in one place.
“Instead of going to 20 websites to find fun and unique seeds that might draw your children into the garden, you can go to Beanstalk Seeds and find them all in one place. Mix and match your favorite things to eat with some curiosity plants and flowers. All the seeds in our collection have been grown in kids’ gardens with great success.”
