Scatter Only Where Love Can Grow Responsibly

We believe in growing beauty — and doing it the right way.

✓ Plant on your own property — your yard, your garden, your land. That's always the safest and most rewarding place to scatter.

✓ Community spaces with permission — community gardens, church grounds, school gardens, and memorial spaces are beautiful places to plant — just get documented permission from whoever manages the space first.

✓ Know your local guidelines — wildflower planting rules vary by city, county, and state. A quick check with your local government can save a lot of headaches.

✗ Do not scatter along highways, roadway shoulders, medians, or interstate corridors — these are state-owned and regulated by DOT agencies.

✗ Do not scatter in national or state parks, forests, wildlife refuges, conservation lands, wetlands, or near protected waterways.

✗ Do not scatter on any federal, state, or local government property without written authorization from the responsible agency.

All Scatter Project seeds are non-invasive and neonicotinoid-free, and nearly all are native to North America — carefully chosen to support pollinators and protect local ecosystems. We take environmental responsibility seriously, and we ask that you do too.
