 The National Council for the Conservation of Plant

Save our Plant Heritage - Pass it on. If you're a gardener, a horticultural enthusiast, or just someone who values our natural and cultural heritage, think about this...our traditional British garden plants are disappearing.

Plants which were once grown in abundance have been lost forever; many others are dwindling fast. The small independent growers who introduced and cultivated hundreds of different plants are gone. And since many never recorded their work, their precious knowledge has died with them.

The NCCPG seeks to conserve, document, promote and make available Britain and Ireland's rich biodiversity of garden plants for the benefit of everyone through horticulture, education and science.

 The Real Seed Catalogue

Here we have brought together what we think are the very best vegetable varieties in existence for the home gardener. You'll find no hybrids or genetically modified seed here - just varieties that do really well and taste great when grown by hand on a garden scale. Many are rare heirlooms, and all are open-pollinated (non-hybrid) so you can save your own seed for future years, using the instructions we supply.

 Walled Kitchen Gardens

The secrets of the walled kitchen garden: a unique part of our heritage. Walled kitchen gardens are an important part of our history, yet are now largely neglected and little understood. In the last century, most large country houses had a walled kitchen garden. They were highly productive places: food, herbs and flowers for the family, staff and guests of the big house.
