If you want to save your own seeds most successfully and true to their own parent seed, grow heirloom seeds!
What is an Heirloom Seed?
Heirloom seeds are seeds from a plant that has been passed from one generation to another, carefully grown and saved because it is considered valuable, sometimes for hundreds of years! To be an heirloom seed, the variety must be open-pollinated. This means that seeds can be planted, the resulting plants allowed to mature, and seeds collected to be replanted the next season. The collected seeds would be expected to "breed true" with regards to the traits of the parent plant.
In this video Dana & Sarah, directors of Back to Eden Film, interview Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds owner Jere Gettle at the world-famous Heirloom Expo in Santa Rosa, California. Jere talks with us about the importance of heirloom seeds and how gardeners are part of the solution to our future seed security!
