A seed packet may seem simple-just a small envelope with a few instructions-but at Heligan, we believe it's the start of a journey.
Our gardeners have spent years growing these varieties, observing their habits, and refining the knowledge they pass on. That knowledge begins right here.
The front of the packet introduces the variety: its name, often a story in itself, and a glimpse into its character. You'll also find a quick note on what makes it special-flavour, resilience, beauty, or historical value.
Turn it over and you'll see the essentials: when to sow, how deep, how far apart, and how long until harvest. These instructions are drawn from our experience growing in Cornish soil and climate, but they're adaptable-what matters most is learning to observe your own space.
Each packet is linked to our Seed Journey Hub. By scanning the QR code, you'll get deeper tips, stories, and seasonal guidance from the Heligan team, plus updates on related articles and growing videos.
Our aim is for you to feel confident and curious-not overwhelmed. The packet gives you the what and when. The rest, with a little care and patience, you'll learn as you go. That's part of the joy.
Because behind each packet is not just a plant. It's a gardener's voice, a season's rhythm, and a story waiting to grow in your hands.
Every seed in our Gardener's Choice range has a story-and behind each story is a gardener. At Heligan, the Productive Garden is more than a place of planting and harvesting. It's a living memory, carefully tended by hands that understand the rhythms of the land and the legacy of the past.
At the heart of Heligan's revived garden lies a philosophy of stewardship, patience, and tradition.
Heritage gardening isn't just a way to grow vegetables-it's a return to methods passed down through generations, rooted in respect for the land, the seasons, and the stories behind every plant.
You don't need acres or a grand greenhouse to begin heritage gardening. At Heligan, we believe the most important space is the one you care for. Whether that's a few raised beds, pots on a balcony, or a shared allotment, the values of heritage gardening-patience, observation, and tradition-begin anywhere.
Seed saving is both a practical skill and a time-honoured tradition in heritage gardening. Long before seed catalogues and online orders, gardeners selected and saved their own seeds-passing down plant lines through generations, adapting varieties to local conditions, and preserving flavours, colours, and resilience that modern varieties often overlook.
