By Adopting a Veg you’re helping to grow and preserve our vegetable heritage. Your adoption helps to fund the work of the Heritage Seed Library, which works to conserve a unique collection of rare and endangered vegetable varieties.
Adopt a Veg is a great alternative present for a loved one, friend or colleague whether it’s a birthday, Christmas or just to say you’re thinking of them.
By adopting a veg you're supporting the work of Garden Organic, sharing skills and knowledge within schools and local communities, researching and promoting best organic practice to thousands of individuals, and helping to grow and preserve our seed heritage. So whether it's Christmas, a birthday, another special occasion or just to put a smile on the face of a loved one, Adopt A Veg is a great alternative and ethical gift.
