Heirloom Seeds for Gardeners Who Value History

Heirloom seeds are time-tested, open-pollinated varieties that have been grown and passed down for generations. Unlike hybrids, these seeds produce plants true to type—just like their parent plants—making them ideal for gardeners who appreciate the story behind every seed. Whether you're saving seeds year after year or simply want to grow with authenticity, heirloom varieties offer flavour, resilience, and a strong connection to traditional gardening.

Why Gardeners Prefer Heirloom Seeds

  • True to type – Heirlooms grow just like the plant they came from, preserving traits you love
  • Seed-saving friendly – Ideal for gardeners who want to collect seeds for future seasons
  • Rich flavour and nutrition – Many heirloom veggies and herbs are more flavourful than commercial hybrids
  • Deep history – Each variety has a story, often tied to regions, cultures, or families
  • Pollinator-friendly – Many heirlooms support bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects
