Discover... Old World delights
with Digger's Heirloom Vegetables.

United Nurseries are proud to grow Digger's Heirloom seed and present seedlings for the home gardener to grow in their vegetable garden.

Vegetables listed as Heirloom are special. The seeds have been carefully saved and collected over generations, either by individuals or seed houses. These varieties of vegetables have been recognized worthy of taste and texture, to be handed down generation to generation. Heirloom vegetables have more flavour than the commercially grown. Commercially grown vegetables have been bred to ripen simultaneously, uniformity of size, shape, colour and hardiness to satisfy transport requirements, in preference to taste.
