what happens to unsold garden seed at lowes walmart and home depot ? can a private individual buy them?
I was wondering if they get thrown away and if they could be bought for pennies on the dollar
I have a friend who works for Burpee. They maintain their own displays in the major stores, and they took old seed and destroyed it. Until this year; now they are donating it to groups that grow food for food banks.
Some seeds last for many years, and some do not. Your home garden takes a lot of effort, and the space is valuable. I don't suggest wasting time on bad seeds. At least find out which seeds are likely to last a long time.
The off brand seeds you find at the dollar store aren't worth the envelope they are in. At least not for vegetables. You are going to spend many hours raising the plants, then find that they produce inferior vegetables.
If you are really interested in cheap seeds, learn to save seeds and maintain quality plant genetics.
