The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Seed packets fail in the drawer, not the ground — standard paper envelopes are permeable to oxygen and moisture, and most begin losing germination viability within about a year. Shido settles that argument before the seed goes in: every packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed, so the packet you buy in August is still the packet you plant next spring, or the spring after that.
The range covers flowers, vegetables and herbs — every one of them non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it is approved for packaging. Each packet is illustrated in the style of 1910s Japanese woodblock printing, drawn in-house at the studio, which is why customers collect them as a series. That was not the original plan. The seeds were. Everything here is priced in CAD and ships across Canada from our Toronto studio; pick-up at 702 Queen Street West is available during shop hours.
