​The Silent Seed was founded by Jude Haverington who is profoundly deaf and passionate about plants.  He collects and grows rare and exotic plants from all over the world. 

The Silent Seed is an all-green, all-natural business, using only recycled and re-used materials, and no chemicals. 

In 2008, The Silent Seed made its debut as a storefront in Magnolia, MA and then returned to its original roots in Newburyport, MA in 2011.
