Year Round Vegetable Seed Collection

The top outstanding, everyday vegetables which will provide you with veg all year round. If I was cast off to a desert island, and had to grow my own food, these are vegetable seeds I would take.

These 15 packets of seeds come in a stylish Sarah Raven seed tin (18x16cm (depth 8cm)) which you can re-use. You'll also receive detailed sowing instructions and a month by month successional sowing and harvesting chart.

This can be gift wrapped in our exclusive gift box, with tissue paper and a Sarah Raven gift card. You will be able to add this to your basket once you begin the checkout process. To add a gift message to your order, simply fill out the details at the delivery stage of the checkout.

Please note: only items which are showing ‘in stock’ can be gift wrapped.
