*SOLD OUT* Heritage Seed Library Tour - 28th September

Our Heritage Seed Library tour is now sold out. Why not visit our organic demonstration garden, where we'll be showcasing some of our unique heirloom and heritage vegetable varieties.

Our Heritage Seed Library tour will take you to our working spaces to reveal the what, how, and why we grow heritage varieties for seed. We will take you on a tour around our polytunnels and outdoor beds to see the methods we use to isolate and pollinate crops to ensure varieties are conserved 'true to type' for future generations. We will show you what is easy from a seed-saving point of view and why some crops are more challenging.

You will learn about the techniques you can try yourself, such as hand-pollinating and seed cleaning, to get started on your own seed-saving adventure. We will introduce you to a few of the unique and unusual varieties in the collection as well as provide a sneak preview of our growing trials of recently rediscovered heritage varieties.
