Heirloom seeds
Heirloom seeds are seeds from plant varieties that have been passed down through generations, often for 50 years or more. They are open-pollinated, meaning they naturally reproduce true to type without human intervention. Heirlooms are valued for their rich flavors, unique characteristics, and historical significance. Growing heirloom seeds allows gardeners to preserve genetic diversity, maintain traditional plant lines, and enjoy authentic, non-GMO produce. Because they are open-pollinated, seeds collected from these plants will produce offspring identical to the parent, enabling sustainable gardening and seed saving practices.
