The Gourmet Gardener Seed Collection available only in Blue Diamond Garden Centres

 

Blue Diamond Garden Centres has launched the Gourmet Gardener Seed Collection – a new and exclusive range of vegetable seeds which also includes seed bulbs and seed potatoes, created for gardeners who value flavour as much as growth.

 

Carefully selected and bred for exceptional taste, the collection offers 100 seed types across herbs, salads, vegetables, peas and beans, including 24 specially flavour-bred varieties. Designed to inspire from the very start, every seed packet is linked to a recipe, with many dishes developed exclusively by Blue Diamond’s Head Chef.

 

Challenging traditional seed packaging, each pack features a vibrant image of a finished, cooked dish rather than raw produce, offering a glimpse of the culinary potential that lies ahead. Every purchase unlocks easy-to-follow recipes online, available to view or print, guiding growers seamlessly from planting to plating.

 

A key highlight of the range is its chef-curated content. A proportion of the collection showcases bespoke recipes specially devised by Blue Diamond’s Head Chef, bringing gourmet creativity directly from the garden to the kitchen. From everyday favourites to standout ingredients, the collection also includes essential herbs — a must-have for every home chef.

 

The Gourmet Gardener Seed Collection encourages customers to grow with confidence, knowing that even the most generous harvest will never be wasted. From carrots to potatoes, strawberries to rhubarb, each visually rich seed pack inspires new and creative ways to enjoy home-grown produce, complete with recipe ideas designed to make every harvest delicious.

 

The Gourmet Gardener Seed Collection is available in all 52 Blue Diamond Garden Centres, inviting customers to grow with purpose, cook with confidence, and savour the full journey from seed to plate.

 

Key features include:

  • 100 seed types across herbs, salads, veg, peas and beans, including seed bulbs and seed potatoes.
  • 24 flavour-bred varieties
  • Each pack unlocks a recipe online
  • Many exclusive Head Chef–developed recipes
  • Cooked recipe imagery on every packet
  • Easy-to-follow, printable recipes
  • Reassuring customers to grow a generous harvest with confidence.

With the Gourmet Gardener Seed Collection, Blue Diamond redefines what it means to grow your own — because this isn’t just gardening, it’s gourmet gardening.
