Carolina pet supply sells seeds. In the winter time I grew mine indoors in the enclosure, with coconut coir as the substrate. Outdoors I grow it in his enclosures also.

Bird seed tend to have a nice variety as well, I've planted a decent amount in my tortoises in and outdoor enclosures.
Unfortunately she isn't too big on grasses, which is the majority of the seed, but sulcatas love grass!
And I believe that is the kind of tort you are looking into.

Grape vines, spineless opuntia cactus, mulberry trees, pasture mixes from peaceful valley farms, and Russian tortoise mix from Tyler at tortoisesupply.com all grow very well for me. Depending on your area, you could also try some hibiscus or some clover mixes too.

where would i ger clover?
If you look at tortoisesupply.com, the seeds are available in the mixes and separately. I'm not sure he has clover sold separately, but you could look at his list and find out. I am currently using red clover purchased from carolinapetsupply last year. My neighbor gave me a jar of white clover he'd stored in his shed for five years. I thought that would be a little long under poor conditions for germination, so I scattered it all over my yard. Yep, it's up and blooming

Along with the places mentioned, a lot of feed stores/farm supplies, garden centers, and nurseries will sell clover. There are also several different varieties to choose from.
