Back to Wylie House Museum home

[Updated January 2016]

We are constantly working to improve and expand our Heirloom Gardens at the Wylie House.

We are pleased to offer the following varieties of seed for sale to the public. New varieties are marked with an asterisk. All of our seeds are grown without the aid of chemical fertilizers or pesticides and all have been germination tested. The seeds are $2.00 per packet if bought at the museum, $2.50 if ordered through the mail. Checks should be made out to Indiana University/Wylie House Museum. We have a limited quantity of some seeds.

Some varieties listed below are linked to images of the plant with a brief description. An asterisk (*) denotes a variety new to us this year.
