Seeds

Three of the big names in seed production provide us with an amazing selection of seed varieties. Thompson and Morgan, Mr Fothergills and Franchi are well respected in the world of horticulture and by stocking a selection from each; we can provide you with excellent choice all year. The range of course includes flowering plants and vegetables with a few exotics thrown in for good measure.

Franchi are one of the most popular vegetable seed providers in Italy and their range includes Mediterranean classics as well as some more standard European varieties. Franchi usually provide quite a high seed count per packet and we find that allotment users like this brand.

There are two ranges of seeds supplied by Mr Fothergills called “World Kitchen” and “World Botanics”. The former has vegetables, and the later has flowering plants, from different countries across the globe. We stock both of these plus their basic range.

Thompson and Morgan provide us with a basic range and three specialty ranges. “Heritage” includes historical vegetable and salad varieties, the like of which would have been grown by previous generations. The “Urban Garden” range is designed for people who would like to grow vegetables and salads in limited space such as pots on patios or window boxes and finally “Duchy Originals” are organic varieties which have been selected and recommended by the Duchy estate.
