Children's Drawings for our Catalogue Cover
This year we are again asking for children to send us colour drawings of "Your favourite vegetable". Twice before we have used these to illustrate our catalogue cover and will do so again for next year's cover.
Each child that sends us one colour drawing of their favourite vegetable will receive three packets of seeds.
For the children's drawings we select to use for our cover those children will receive a story book as well. Please advise the age of the child to ensure we send a suitable book title if their drawing is selected.
Please include:
- 1x colour drawing of your favourite vegetable.
- Name of the child.
- Age.
- Postal Address.
Send your drawings to:

Our Aim
Our aim has always been to make old traditional open pollinated seed commonly available to home gardeners.
To this end we have made Eden Seeds and Select Organic seeds available through hundreds of retail outlets. Our mail order service is second to none and ordering by internet is “easiest by far”.
We have also tried to keep prices at a low sustainable level and provide best storage practices for best germination results. We now have the widest range of seeds and widest bulk seed range including Sweet Corn as low as $34 per kg for commercial growers.
We support the idea that we should be able to go to the supermarket and purchase organically grown produce using old traditional open pollinated seed. What answer would you get if you asked at the local organic vegetable store “Is this produce grown using old traditional open pollinated seed?”
We therefore support home gardeners to “grow your own” - a most rewarding activity for all the family.
Thanks for your support, happy gardening.
Alf Finch & the staff at Eden Seeds & Select Organic.
