"These are fantastic! Mine arrived a couple of days ago and am absolutely rapt, way better than I imagined - thank you! And they're heirlooms so we can still get seeds from what we grow."

Australian Heirloom Seeds
Grow Food & Seeds
- Non GMO / Heirloom Seeds: More genetically diverse than GMO & Hybrids, which allows plants to slowly adapt to your growing conditions. We have an array of concerns with seeds being bred in a lab and support the long-term sustainability of home gardening and agriculture.
- Planting + Growing Info: Loads of simple information on each seed packet means you can leave your phone inside and enjoy time in the garden without needing to search online for planting calendars, row spacing, seed depth, positioning, etc.
- Harvest & Share Seeds: As big corporations flood the market with hybrid seeds, heirloom seeds are becoming harder to get. We encourage our growers to save and share seeds to maintain local control over our food system.
Storing Seeds & Prepping
- Prepping: Our packs come sealed, include moisture absorbers and storage instructions. As we saw in 2020, seeds are a lifeline in a times of crisis, so we encourage seed saving, but we also encourage you to start the journey now and start prepping yourself to build your survival skill set. Start with what you have, keep it simple, and always harvest, save and share your seeds!
- Storing Seeds: Each of our kits are sealed and include moisture absorbers as well as storage instructions. To minimise loss in quality, store kits sealed in a dark, dry, cool location. A cupboard is normally sufficient short-term (1 – 2 years). For longer periods (2 – 5+ years), we recommend you store our kits in your fridge crisper.
