Seed the Future
GIVING BACK TO COMMUNITIES
Every day we connect with different schools and community groups who need our help. Whether it is for our expertise or requests for seed and product donations to help children, families, and communities to have access to growing their own food.
We believe that everyone should have access to growing their own healthy food, and with the support of our members and the Seed the Future program, we're helping to make this possible.
How does it work?
Every time a new member joins The Diggers Club, a packet of seeds is automatically donated to our Seed the Future fund. Schools and communities who need support to kick start their gardening and sustainability journey connect with us, and we help meet their needs by donating packets of seeds.
Our wonderful Diggers Club members have helped us donate 1.426 million seeds so far.
