HERITAGE SEEDLINGS
Have you always wanted to grow old-fashioned vegetables and herbs but aren't able to start your own from seed?
Now you can enjoy your own produce that is not only delicious, divine and distinctive but also benefits Mother Nature herself.
TOMATOES etc introduces a carefully chosen collection of more than 50 varieties of hardy heritage seedlings ready to grow in your garden, on your balcony or your back porch.
WHY SELECT A HERITAGE VARIETY?
DELICIOUS TASTE
The old varieties were developed at a time when great flavour and texture was more important than the ability to withstand mechanical harvesting and shipping over long distances. You can taste the difference in every bite.
DISTINCTIVE APPEARANCE
Your garden an be as beautiful as it is delicious! Yellow, orange, white or green striped, these are just some of the colourful types of tomatoes that we offer. Purple-leaved basil, gorgeous amaranth, these heritage plants are beautiful and unusual enough to be part of your decorative garden.
PRESERVING GENETIC DIVERSITY
Every year commercial seed houses eliminate more and more varieties from the seeds they offer their customers. This loss of genetic diversity has serious consequences for our future. Plant breeders need a wide variety of genetic material to be able to produce new strains that can resist the stresses of our changing climate.
A CONNECTION TO OUR PAST & A PROMISE FOR THE FUTURE
Our ancestors have passed down to us an abundant agricultural heritage of fruits, vegetables, herbs and grains. These foods are delicious and beautiful and their lasting survival demonstrates their resistant to insects and diseases. By choosing to grow these heritage varieties you are also protecting this legacy for your children and grandchildren.
