Chi Garden has over 20 varieties of unique, organically grown seedlings, including:
Asian Heritage Corn, Bitter Melon, Perilla, Molokhia, Purple Mustard, Red Flowering Choy Sum
Medicinal herbs, edible perennials, heirloom squash and beans, sweet potato slips, tree saplings
All are open-pollinated, adapted to Ottawa, and rooted in flavour, health, and community.
This year, we’re also offering curated combos like:

These seedlings come from varieties we’ve tested, grown, and selected over many seasons right here at Chi Garden. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for resilient plants with history and soul, we hope you’ll find something for your garden.
