The Green Pages: Seed Savers Exchange (E-Commerce Companies)

This is the first time I've ordered from seed savers exchange, and I'm very pleased with them so far. Haven't planted them yet BUT, look at this:



There is actually a picture of the specific plant I bought.
And on the back, history, planting directions, days to germination, plant information, AND, a 1" restickable flap instead of 1/4" which never holds and spills seeds everywhere.



Good job seed saver exchange!

I like the fact that Seed Savers is an organization with options. It ranges from just purchasing (almost) any heirloom or historical seed, to supporting membership, or selling your own seeds as a member. I look forward to reading about not only the seeds that I'm buying, but also a little heritage/history.

Love them. Nice to know that whatever I order from them, I can save the seeds and not have to try to figure out whether they are heirloom or hybrid. Good prices and nice selection.

From the website:
"Seed Savers Exchange is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving and sharing heirloom seeds. Since 1975, our members have been passing on our garden heritage by collecting and distributing thousands of samples of rare garden seeds to other gardeners."

"For the first time ever, Seed Savers Exchange is happy to offer a collection of varieties ‘From the Preservation Gardens.’ Previously available only to SSE members through the Yearbook, this collection is available to the general public on a limited basis through the 2013 catalog only. These varieties were selected because of their interesting histories, unique characteristics, and popularity with SSE staff."

This is a good place for interesting and rare heirloom seed varieties. You don't have to be a member to order from their online catalog or to request a catalog in the mail.
