Here you'll find top quality seeds for the best vegetables we've found to grow in the UK.
Exciting new varieties of tomatoes, beans, peas, squash and more unusual seeds are added to the catalogue every year.

How We Are Different

Everyone who works here is a gardener, so we know what you want - we only offer really good seeds.
Our varieties have been chosen from hundreds of trials & taste-tests on our farm in Wales.

We hope you enjoy these vegetables as much as we have enjoyed tracking them down and trying them out. Try something new in the garden this year!

Traditional Open-pollinated Seed

We specialise in varieties that do really well and taste great when grown on a garden scale - a catalogue of real seeds for real gardeners wanting to grow proper vegetables.

Because all are open-pollinated (non-hybrid), if you wish you can even save your own vegetable seed
for future years, using the instructions we supply. There's no need to buy new seed every year.

BeautifuL Paper Packets

To reduce plastic waste, we use paper envelopes, and small runs are packed by hand using these brass scoops we made ourselves:

We also have two of the last existing Ballard-Brown seed packing machines. Weighing 1000lb in cast iron and brass, and built a hundred and twenty years ago, these amazing devices have been in constant use ever since.

Invented by Mr H. H. Cummings in 1884 , it picks up and opens a paper packet, put in seed, glues the flap, folds it over and stacks them neatly in a wooden tray. Originally steam powered, ours are now run by an electric motor.

We designed our own beautiful paper packets , inspired by the Art Nouveau works of Mucha.
The envelopes are made for us here in Wales, using a reproduction 1880s envelope-cutter we designed as well.
