The Herman’s Garden Program

The financial support of Herman Warsh and Maryanne Mott helped establish Heritage Farm, our headquarters in Decorah, Iowa. To honor their generosity, Seed Savers Exchange donates seeds to nonprofit, educational, and community organizations and gardens in need through the Herman’s Garden Seed Donation Program.

We are currently revamping the program and are not accepting applications at this time. Please check back in November for information about the updated program and application process.

Due to customs restrictions and shipping costs, the program is available only to organizations within the United States. We cannot accept requests from individuals or from projects where seeds or resulting produce will be sold.
