Sugar Snap Pea Vegetable Seeds Packet
Sugar Snap Peas (Pisum sativum var. macrocarpon) are a sweet and crunchy cool-season vegetable prized for their plump, edible pods. Enjoyed fresh, in salads, or cooked in stir-fries, these easy-to-grow plants produce abundant harvests and are ideal for garden beds, raised beds, and trellises. As nitrogen-fixing legumes, sugar snap peas also help improve soil health while providing a delicious and nutritious crop.

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
