Description

By joining Irish Seed Savers you share in the task of conserving Ireland’s fruit, vegetables and grains. Time is running out for conserving these old varieties – once they are gone they are gone forever.

Become a Supporter and help us to:

Maintain and expand the National Heritage Collection of Irish Apple Trees.

Maintain Ireland’s only living public seedbank, ensuring a continuous and growing supply of high quality open pollinated seed.

Undertake programmes of research to identify heritage varieties and bring them into our collection for conservation and use.

Educate: from pre-schoolers, hobby gardeners, horticulturalists to farmers – and everyone in between.

Our concessionary supporter pack is for seniors (over 65), students & the unemployed.

As a supporter you will receive:

  • Seven free packs of rare heirloom seeds. (Jan – April each year)
  • Complimentary access to our Organic Seed Gardens and Heritage Orchards all year round.
  • Complimentary access to all of our event days.
  • 10% Discount on Irish Heritage Apple Trees (applied to up to 4 trees per year).
  • 10% Discount on workshops (applied to up to 4 workshop places per year).
  • Summer and Winter newsletters filled with informative articles and gardening tips from our teams.

You will also receive our free monthly e-Newsletter, detailing all the work we do in our gardens and orchards from month to month. 

While we appreciate support from anywhere in the world, supporter free seeds and Irish heritage apple trees can only be posted to addresses within the EU.  Please bear this in mind when purchasing a subscription.  If you live outside the EU and would like to send your free supporter seeds to a friend or relative living in the EU we are happy to do so.

Please note that if a monthly or quarterly supporter subscription is cancelled within the first year of its start date, we kindly ask that the value of any free seeds or discounts received as part of the supporter benefits be reimbursed via donation. This ensures that we can continue offering valuable resources and support for our mission to conserve, utilise and protect Ireland’s rich genetic food crop diversity. We appreciate your understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
