The Italian Gardener

Seed display Cooking demo Seedlings from Franchi seed

Welcome to the World of Italian Vegetables!

There have been some new vegetable varieties added recently so check below. I have also added the excellent Organic Vegetable Gardening book by Annette McFarlane, ABC Brisbane gardening guru. Covers growing in climatic zones from the tropics to cool temperate, and a wealth of information for the beginner and the experienced gardener.

The Italian Gardener sells vegetable and herb seed from Franchi Sementi SpA, one of the most respected seed producers in Italy, and a family owned business since 1783. Franchi vegetables deliver on quality and flavour.

Maggie Beer says that The Italian Gardener provides a direct link to Italy for her vegetable garden. "Some of my favourite meals have come from produce grown from seeds from the Italian Gardener- artichokes, cavolo nero and the most wonderful varieties of tomatoes to name a few...."
