a little bit about us

We thought you'd like to know a little about Sheppard Seed Co

 

 

 

In 2011 we finally took the decision to move to the country and bought 'our place' on a lovely 2 acre plot in rural Lincolnshire. With outbuildings, a rickity stable block and plenty of flat ground we set to work tidying the place up, and sorting our then bungalow out. Soon after we started to think about what we would do with all the fertile Lincolnshire land we had. A couple of years ago I learned about the amazing work that Plant Heritage did, and decide to have a go at growing hollyhocks, which in spite of the ever present threat of rust. I'd always enjoyed growing. Fast forward to September 2020 and we were finally successful in setting up only the fourth National Plant Collection in Lincolnshire, The National Plant Collection of Alceas.

Looking forward, we aim to open up the plant collection, be that on a specific open day, or on specific days during the growing season, but this will be TBC.

And of course we are also pushing forward with our attempt at a Cosmos Bipinnatus collection too!

 

We look forward to hearing from you really soon, but in the meantime feel free to order a pack of seeds or two, and get growing.
