Many seeds sold are F1 hybrid variety, so you can’t replant or save them, to make you buy new packs next year. Buy real organic seeds from The Real Seed Company or consider a seed swap like Brighton’s Seedy Sunday.
Arthouse Unlimited offers packs of seeds for beetroot, peas, carrots and sweet pepper. The difference is that these packs are beautifully illustrated by artists with complex neuro-diverse and physical support needs, providing them with jobs and income, with sales helping this wonderful nonprofit.
