West Coast Seeds

For more than five years we have used @Shopify as our platform for managing ecommerce. Shopify's core platform capabilities, extensive app library, and support team have all helped drive the digital side of our business forward, enabling us to create a smooth experience for our growing community of organic gardeners as they discover and shop for seeds and garden supplies. With Shopify, we are able to organize and manage our extensive catalogue of over 1,000 products and host countless pieces of digital content created to support our community.

The team at ClearMarble provide top notch technology service from website UI/UX design, digital tool implementation, app design, and so much more. We are proud to work with this consulting company that supports us with thoughtful customizations online and high-level technology implementations within and beyond our Shopify tech stack. The team at Clear Marble keeps us informed and updated at every step of a project, documenting and analyzing processes along the way to ensure efficiency and tangible results. They have helped us create and build a digital vision and produce truly incredible results. West Coast Seeds is grateful to work alongside such an unparalleled team of tech wizards.

With Yotpo Reviews, we offer our growing community first-hand knowledge and experience with our products. Enabling our growers to leave comments on our seeds and supplies helps others make informed decisions, and also helps us better understand the needs of our gardening community. We utilize Yotpo's Referral program to offer growers a chance to receive a discount on their orders for every successful referral link they send to a first-time buyer on our website, who also receives a discount on their first order. This helpful tool allows us to spread the word of West Coast Seeds to gardeners from coast to coast to coast.

Thank you to our community of growers for supporting the Red Cross Canadian Wildfire Fund with your wildflower seed packet purchases. With 100% of wildflower sales donated over the month of August, you helped raise over $25,000 to address preparedness, immediate relief, and longer-term recovery for wildfire events within Canada. This fundraiser supports families impacted by wildfires and supports @redcrosscanada in preparing for future wildfire events. Your newly purchased wildflower seeds can still be sown in the late summer and early fall. Seeds will stay dormant over the winter, sprouting to life in the early spring. We are grateful for all the community support over the month of August. Thank you for helping make a difference. If you live in a sensitive bioregion, there may be campaigns at your local level against the planting of certain seeds. Please consider such campaigns as you select the right wildflower blend for your patio, garden, field, or farm. In Canada, you can visit the Invasive Species Centre website to find further resources on invasive plants in your region. Tap the link to “Wildflowers & Regionality” in our bio to learn more.⁠ ⁠ Continue to donate to the Red Cross Canadian Wildfire Fund directly by visiting their website.

Their photography style not only captures our products beautifully, it creates an atmosphere that thoughtfully evokes the magic of gardening.
