Heirloom Plants and Vegtables

Looking for Some Heirloom Plants and Vegetables?

 

Seeds from Seed Savers Exchange are a great way to get some of those hard to find heirloom plants back into your garden. Seed Savers Exchange is a non – profit organization devoted to the preservation of heirloom plants and does not carry any seeds that have been genetically modified in anyway. This means we are able to maintain plants that have been around for centuries like the bean “Cherokee Trail of Tears” that was actually carried by the Cherokees along their long march.

 To me, this is very exciting because not only do you get to enjoy beautiful plants and vegetables in your garden, but you get to partake in history and its preservation. Plus, planting seeds are fun because you get to be involved in all stages of the growing process and it is amazing to see the first little shoots come out of a pot that just looked like dirt.

 We have a great selection of seeds at the Garden Shop located near the Tollway, so come in the store to learn more about the different varieties of heirloom seeds. You can also visit their website at http://www.seedsavers.org/
