Catalog Review: Southern Exposure Seed Exchange

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange offers more than 700 varieties of open-pollinated, heirloom, and traditional varieties of vegetables, herbs, flowers, grains and cover crops.

OK , I let in it . In my many years of veggie ( and now herb ) gardening , I have yet to really explore growing heirloom and open - pollenate varieties . I now actualize that this is truly a gardening gold mine yet to be tapped . Practically all of the transplants I put in my Victory Garden are now from seed I begin . As a result , when I received my Southern Exposure Seed Exchange catalog , I was rightfully inspired to try something unexampled .

Southern Exposure Seed Exchange is located in the rolling pitcher’s mound of central Virginia , between Richmond and Charlottesville , not far from Thomas Jefferson ’s Monticello . From their website , “ Southern Exposure Seed Exchange offers more than 700 mixture of vegetable , flower , herbaceous plant , grain and cover crop seeds . We emphasise varieties that perform well in the Mid - Atlantic and Southeast , although gardeners and Farmer from all over the country grow our seed . We offer many strange , Southern heirlooms … However , we serve nurseryman throughout the United States and Canada . ”

I forthwith observe the function of both exposure and illustrations to accentuate the seed list . This combination made for a unique demonstration throughout the catalog . The illustrations are done in an almost “ color pencil ” style ( one of my pet example styles , BTW ) . I also apprize the use of an uncoated “ newspaper - esque ” paper stock that the catalog is printed in .

The Southern Exposure Seed Exchange catalog is a bang-up source for open - pollinated , heirloom , and traditional variety , and is a “ must - have ” for your cum catalogue collection .
