They might have already paid off the seed quote a little bit(im doing this from memory, so it might not be 100% right). This happened during the stormblood botanist questline. Youre helping the botanists of idyllshire try to shore up their food supply, and at some point in that series you get told that some of what they already have growing is because of the seeds you helped get from the arboretum. And indeed, you had to jump through a few hoops to get everything going well, so growing them wasnt super easy.
