Porlock Heirloom Seed Library received a massive donation from our amazing long time supporters, sponsors and friends from Hitachi Construction Machinery UK!
The seeds were donated in connection with a very generous larger donation from Hitachi and their supplier Thomas Potter of garden tools, hardware and equipment which we recieved during the Volunteer Week a few weeks ago, in which Hitachi also played a massive part with their fantastic volunteer work!
Their help and generosity has propelled the progress at Porlock Gardens forward massively, and we are so grateful.
I thought that the fantastic heirloom seed donation deserved a separate post, so I have updated the seed library on here, so all the different seeds can be studied.
All the seeds come from one of our other sponsors, She Grows Veg who were the first ones to get our library going. They specialise in bringing exotic and high quality heirloom seeds to the UK from all over the world.
