how we came to be.
Decker Rd. Seeds originally began as a ‘hobby’, and has slowly grown into something more.
From the beginning, we offered a very small number of flower, herb, and veggie seeds, Now we specialize in a larger variety of individual flower and herb varieties, as well as a bunch of different wildflower mixes for all planting scenarios. And of course don’t forget our hugely popular ‘seed kits’ - these take the guesswork out of what & how to plant. Over the years, we have gradually reduced our vegetable seed selection (in favor of more flower/wildflower seeds), but still offer some select greens and lettuce mixes. It’s too hard to compete with the large stores who can sell cucumber seeds for $1.50!
We typically lean towards low-maintenance, drought-tolerant varieties, and we love our pollinator-friendly plants (think hyssop, bee balm, lavender, etc.). We also like native plants, long-blooming varieties, and sun lovers. And low-maintenance lawn alternatives!
Some of the seeds are grown here in Phlomath (Oregon), others are grown and harvested from a handful of farms in the Willamette Valley. And some of the ‘high desert’ varieties are harvested in Colorado. All have become our favorites, but it’s tough to beat a field of ‘Seashells’ Cosmos all in bloom.
Please let us know if you have questions, or suggestions for varieties you’d like us to offer in the future.
