Fall is a great time to seed

Fall is coming soon to the Fraser Valley… and it’s a great time to seed. The cool nights and mild, shorter days provide the ideal conditions for seed germination. Seed is better able to retain moisture in these conditions and seedlings will thrive without the extreme heat that occurs in the summer months.

And we are offering a BONUS of 100 AIR MILES® reward miles for all seeding orders in September and October! Call us today to arrange for an onsite quote for seeding.
