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
Without bees there would be no fruit, so it pays to make your organic garden bee-friendly. In sunny spots, sow clumps of bee-attractant flowering plants.
Your organic garden in March
Spring has sprung and it’s time to get sowing and growing as the nights and days warm up.
