W


e’ve been on a mission to
help Australian gardeners
for more than 40 years,
and we’re still going strong.
Our range of innovative, environmentally
friendly fertilisers and plant tonics has
been designed to keep gardens green
and beautiful in challenging conditions.
We’re proud to still be manufacturing
Seasol in Tasmania, where we started.
In fact, all of our manufacturing is done
in Australia, and every component, from
cartons to nozzles, is made here, too.
We pride ourselves on our commitment
to quality and an innovative approach. It
seems to have been a winning formula!
