Many of us have our tried and tested favourites those we put our trust in year after year. This season, however, why not challenge yourself to something new. Encourage your sense of culinary adventure and try something you haven't before. Or, grow that flower which will be the new focal point in your outdoor space. You'll turn up more winners than flops and it will be the conversation focus with your green fingered friends.

Here at Mr Fothergill’s we love exploring and being one of the UK’s largest seed companies we think we know a fair bit about seed. This season we want to introduce to you the very best unusual varieties that can be sown successfully in British gardens. We have tried and tested them all and they are well worth a try. So, go on, challenge yourself this season and grow something different! – You might discover your new ‘good, old classic favourite’.
