The Seed Club (D&H Seed Harvest Co.)

What's in the box: Each month brings a selection of individual heirloom seed packets matched to the plan you chose, such as vegetables, flowers, herbs or Australian natives.

The Seed Club is the monthly subscription arm of D&H Seed Harvest Co, a shop that describes itself as proudly Australian owned and operated. It sells non GMO, open pollinated and heirloom seed, and the club comes in several themes: Vegetable, Flower Garden, Cut Flower, Herbs and Spices, Australian Native Bush Foods, Australian Native Garden, and a larger Mega Gardener plan promising 180 packets over a year. A 12 month prepaid option is also offered. The basic plans are listed at $10 a month, but the site is Australian, so check which currency you are paying in. The range is broad, and open pollinated seed lets you save your own seed for the next season. The shop also sells cheap sample packets, bulk seed and garden supplies if you want to add more. US shoppers should be careful, though. The business is built for Australian gardeners, and its seasonal ranges follow the Southern Hemisphere calendar. The native plans focus on Australian plants that may not suit your climate. The site does not clearly say whether it ships to the US, and imported seed is regulated, so confirm that before you subscribe. Gardeners in Australia will get the most out of it.
