公司概况
兄弟自然传家宝种子公司（Brother Nature Heirloom Seeds）是一家位于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市的家族经营种子企业，正式成立于 2002 年。创始人 Gord 最初为 Brincks Landscaping 苗圃业务四处收集种子以降低植物生产成本，由此开启了与全球园艺爱好者交换种子的漫长旅程，并在一座交易得来的玻璃温室内建立苗圃雏形。公司以”二十五载坚持天然、零转基因、零化学处理”为核心理念，承诺所售种子均不含转基因成分与非有机化学处理，并以推广可持续、生物多样性的园艺实践为使命，自 2002 年以来耕作基地先后经历三次迁址，从 Koksilah Road 到 West Saanich Road，再到如今位于 Metchosin 的现址，每一次迁移都是耕作条件与生态多样性的升级。

Company Overview
Brother Nature Heirloom Seeds is a family-run heirloom seed company based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, officially established in 2002. Founder Gord began collecting and trading seeds worldwide to reduce plant production costs for Brincks Landscaping, eventually erecting a glass greenhouse obtained through trade and laying the foundation for the company. With 25 years of operation under the motto “All natural, all the time,” the company is committed to non-GMO, chemical-free seeds and to promoting sustainable, ecologically diverse gardening practices. Its farming base has relocated three times since 2002, settling at its current Metchosin location.
Products and Services
The company specializes in heirloom seeds across six main categories: annual flowers, perennial flowers, herbs, vegetables, tomatoes, and drought-resistant varieties. Featured varieties include Sweet Alyssum, China Aster Mix, Bachelor Button (Cornflower), Cerinthe (Blue Shrimp), Picotee Cosmo, Sea Holly, Fireside Blanket Flower, Delphinium, Pyrethrum Daisy, Moth Mullien, Lupines Mix, Evening Primrose, Dwarf Dahlia Mix, Alstroemeria, Red Hot Poker, German Chamomile, English Lavender, Echinacea Coneflower, Calendula, Double Feverfew, Cilantro, St. Johns Wort, and Genovese Basil. Retail prices start at CAD 3.99 per packet, with year-round sale items, PayPal and credit card support, e-Transfer availability, local pickup at the Victoria home office, and free shipping on orders over CAD 40 before tax.
Research and Technology
The company maintains a small-scale agrarian model that combines working retired-farmer land with its own plots, growing, saving, and selecting all commercial seed in-house rather than sourcing through third-party distributors, ensuring varietal vigor and genetic integrity from origin. Every seed sold is grown under strict non-GMO and chemical-free protocols, with no chemical seed treatments applied, ensuring the seeds remain healthy, reliable, and eco-friendly for home gardeners. Seeds are organized by USDA hardiness zones (Zone 2 through Zone 10) so customers can match varieties to their local climate.
Heritage and Community
Run continuously by the Gord family for over two decades, the company has grown from a personal seed-trading hobby into a full heirloom seed retail business while staying closely connected to the local community. The home office is based in Victoria, British Columbia, where local customers can arrange in-person seed or plant purchases by calling the published business line. The company engages with gardeners worldwide through Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, offers a 10% discount on first orders via email subscription, and is developing a Garden Wisdom blog to share seed-saving tips and growing experience.
