When your seed packet arrives

To help us mark the occasion, we’ll be sending you a packet of golden-themed heritage vegetable seeds from our National Collection of Heritage Vegetables to grow at your location.
Alternative text should describe the visual content of the image.

Once your seeds arrive, we’d be grateful if you could: 🔗

Please take a photo of the parcel with your group/location – and shout about the relay and the work of the Heritage Seed Library on: Facebook at Garden Organic and HSL; Instagram at Garden Organic and HSL; X at Garden Organic and HSL; BlueSky; LinkedIn.

Please tag us @gardenorganicuk and @heritageseedlibrary and use the hashtag #HSL50 and #SeedStories.

We would love it if you were able to write a blog for your website, newsletter or magazine – sharing the journey of your seed and the work of the HSL. If you’d like to photos or logos of the Heritage Seed Library to go with your social posts or blogs, please email our marketing team.

We’d love to know when and where you will be planting your seeds. If you're able to save the seeds and share some of them with your community even better! 

Please continue to tell us about any growing/harvesting or seed stories connected to your Heritage Seed Library seeds until autumn 2026.
