Heritage vegetables

Our 'Ecotalk Rooted in Nature' garden features some of the best veg from our unique Heritage Seed Library.

What's so special about our veg? 🔗

The 'Ecotalk Rooted in Nature' garden features vegetables specially selected from our Heritage Seed Library.

Once commonplace in veg patches, the varieties protected within the Heritage Seed Library are all heritage, heirloom or ex-commercial varieties no longer available for growers to access anywhere else.

Were it not for this conservation effort, these examples of precious biodiversity would be lost forever.
