Let's grow! Piccolo Seeds was founded in Treviso, Italy in 2012, with the intention of offering select seeds suitable for urban gardens located on patios, terraces, and balconies. Plant varieties were carefully selected for their growing potential in pots and boxes—many are dwarf and compact varieties that won’t too quickly outgrow these spaces. Of course, for those fortunate enough to have one, they can be directly planted in the garden too.

All seed varieties are open-pollinated, non-hybrid, and non-GMO. To assure the best quality and germination, the seeds are packed in thermo-sealed paper bags. Then, each sachet is inserted into a folded leaflet made of completely recyclable FSC paper.
