What are heirloom seeds and why should we use them? The term 'heirloom' has come to be used for older (generally 50 years or older) non-hybrid seed varieties of flowers and vegetables. Many of these were favorites of previous generations of gardeners. By growing them on a regular basis, gardeners are helping to preserve many valuable and interesting types of plants that might otherwise disappear.
