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
While growing days are shorter in September, with dew drenched mornings and cool evenings, there's still plenty of time to gather your harvest before frosts threaten, and collect and save seeds.
