My Favourite Gardening Products from West Coast Seeds

As a proud West Coast Seeds Brand Ambassador, I’m excited to share some of my favourite seeds and gardening supplies to help you plan and grow a garden you’ll love.

All of the photos on this page are my own, taken in my garden last year, so you can see how these plants actually grew for me.

Favourite Spring Seeds

These cool-weather crops are great for early planting and are the first things I reach for each spring.

Several leaves of Little Gem lettuce in a brown wicker bowl held over a lawn.

Little Gem is a mini romaine lettuce. It's hard to find at grocery stores, so I like to grow my own.

Buttercrunch lettuce is prized for its buttery-soft leaves that work well in lettuce wraps.
