The Heritage Seed Library (HSL) maintains the national collection of heritage vegetables and aims to conserve vegetable varieties that are not widely available. The collection consists of mainly European varieties, including rare landrace varieties, heirloom varieties and no-longer-popular varieties.  
The seed library currently holds approximately 800 varieties.

Each year, approximately 150 varieties within the collection are chosen for inclusion in the Heritage Seed Library Seed List. Seed from the chosen varieties is harvested from vegetables grown by Garden Organic's Heritage Seed Library (HSL) team at Ryton Organic Gardens and by our volunteer Seed Guardians.

The HSL have kindly agreed to show us around their seed collection and processing facilities, storage areas and growing spaces
