The question comes up often. So what is all the buzz about switching to heirloom seeds and plants? The truth is that it's nothing "new" at all. Going back to the basics, using heirlooms seeds again, means that one is going back to the "old" way of gardening.
Our world is quickly becoming contaminated with fruits and vegetables that have been genetically modified and where there is little genetic diversity. Heirlooms are plants that open-pollinated, genetically diverse, and not genetically engineered.
Heirloom gardeners are those individuals who are fighting to keep these old gems alive to preserve our natural food source. Education is the key to make a difference! Learn more about the benefits of heirloom seeds, and most importantly: grow an heirloom garden!!!! :)
