The Heritage Seed Library
The Heritage Seed Library (HSL) maintains the national collection of heritage vegetables and aims to conserve vegetable varieties that are not widely available, sharing seed with our members to grow and enjoy.
Who we are and what we do
Our charity brings together thousands of people who share a common belief – that organic growing is essential for a healthy and sustainable world. Through campaigning, advice, community work and research, our aim is to get everyone growing ‘the organic way’.
Your Garden This Month
Fill patches of bare ground, or large containers with colourful field annuals such as cornflower, corncockle and corn marigold. They are loved by pollinators and will provide lots of nectar and pollen.
Your organic garden in April
There's lots to sow, grow and enjoy this month. Savour the sunny days but keep one eye on the forecast for late spring frosts.
