Eden Seeds

Eden Seeds We distribute the finest heirloom, non-hybrid seeds to Australian home gardeners & farmers. Old varieties produce over an extended period.
(2)

Our aim is to distribute old traditional open pollinated varieties of vegetable seed, preferably old Australian varieties and organically or bio-dynamically grown where possible. We believe they are more nutritious and better tasting, hardy and easier to grow for the home gardener. Home gardeners obtain relaxation, enjoyment and quality from a most rewarding hobby. Our seeds are the old traditional open pollinated non-hybrid varieties and have no chemical treatment, and no genetic engineering.

Sometimes the weeds and seeds win.

The land needed us more than the algorithm did.
And when that happens, we choose the land.

Still here.
Alive.
Working.
Covered in dirt.
Seedlings up to elbows.

Back now. đź‘‹

If you are not growing all your own food, that is completely okay.
Grow what you can, when you can.
And let farmers markets and small neighbourhood fruit and veg shops fill in the rest.

Every bunch of greens here began as a seed.
Grown in season. Harvested close to home.
The food chain the way it’s supposed to work.

When you shop at a farmers market, you are supporting people who carry a lot on their shoulders.
Unpredictable seasons. Tight margins. Hard physical work.
Often for very little return.

A genuine thank you matters more than you think.
So today, thank a farmer.

Queen Anne’s lace has many convincing lookalikes. Some are harmless. One is not.

True Queen Anne’s lace, also known as wild carrot (Daucus carota), is often recognised by the tiny dark purple floret in the centre of the flower head. The stems are covered in fine hairs and are never smooth.

Common lookalikes include
• Cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris)
• Bishop’s flower or laceflower (Ammi majus)
• Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)

Queen Anne’s lace has a long history in traditional herbal medicine and folklore. It has been used as a gentle digestive bitter, a diuretic, and historically in fertility related practices. It is also the wild ancestor of the modern carrot. The delicate, lace-like umbels were often associated with protection and shelter in European folk traditions.

Poison hemlock is a completely different plant, despite its similar appearance. It has smooth, hairless stems, often marked with purple blotches. It contains powerful neurotoxins including coniine, the compound that famously killed Socrates. Ingestion can cause progressive muscle paralysis, respiratory failure, and death. There is no safe dose. Even small amounts can be fatal.

This is why plant identification matters.
This is why foraging is never guesswork.
And why “it looks the same” is never good enough.

Learn the details. Respect the differences. When in doubt, do not touch, taste, or harvest.

Beans are one of my very favourite things to grow.
They’re firstly very easy and usually quite hardy, not needing a lot of fuss. Secondly they’re often far too generous in crop. You’ll have plenty to eat and share and enough seed left over to save. Nourishing, adaptable in the kitchen. Beautiful in their growth.

And, the most romantic part - each one carries a richly tapestried story. Truly, if you know an immigrant (we all must, right?), a transient traveller, displaced person, someone with known indigenous lineage - ask them about beans. I guarantee they’ll have a bean with a story.

Some of the beans I grow have been passed down for eons.
Their colours and markings hold the fingerprints of great great grandmothers, gardeners, and growers I’ll never meet, but still feel in my hands.
Story medicine lives here.

Heirloom seeds are more than biodiversity.
They are memory we can touch.
Active resilience we can plant.
Legacy we can nourish ourselves and our families with.

May we keep saving what matters, and sharing it freely.

What’s your favourite plant to grow from seed?
