Collection: Bells of Ireland

Best direct seeded in early spring when soil is cool. Seeds need light to germinate so sprinkle on soil surface, firm soil and cover very lightly. Before sowing, pre-chill seed in the fridge for 2 weeks to improve germination. Transplant seedlings outside around last frost date. Prefers full to 1/2 day sun and well-drained soil. Often self-seeds in the garden.

About Hawthorn Farm

Hawthorn Farm began in 1996 on a kitchen table with a single-page catalogue of organic seeds and a dream.

Today, we offer several hundred organic, open-pollinated vegetable, herb, and flower seed varieties to other farmers and gardeners across Canada.

Many seed companies simply resell imported seed from around the world. On our Canadian farm, we grow, harvest, test, and package seeds using organic practices that enrich soil and protect ecosystems.

Most of our seeds are produced right here, either on our own farm or by our local network of small growers. Varieties unsuited for producing excellent seed in our climate (zone 4 and 5) are carefully sourced from trusted growers in other regions.

Every packet reflects rigorous standards and a deep respect for the land. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Seeds are more than something to sell, they’re a way to connect.

Each summer we open our farm for workshops and tours, sharing the craft of seed saving.

We support schools, nonprofits, and community groups with seeds and knowledge, believing that communities grow stronger by sharing resources.

Good food starts with exceptional seed.
