GARDEN ORGANIC’S HERITAGE
SEED LIBRARY HAS TREASURES
LIKE THIS HISTORIC FRENCH BEAN
Podded history
G
arden Organic curates a wide range of unusual
vegetable varieties in its Heritage Seed Library –
many of which have a tale to tell, such as climbing
French bean, the Cherokee Trail of Tears. In 1838
the Cherokee nation was displaced by settlers and set off on
an infamous march that became known as the Trail of Tears.
They were only able to take their most precious possessions
with them, one of which was a humble bean.
Now you can get your hands on this climbing French bean
to grow in your own garden, all while helping to continue
Garden Organic’s work conserving heritage veg varieties.
