Heirloom Seeds & Sunchoke Tubers — Rare Heritage Varieties for Canadian Gardens
A Note from the Garden Realm: Jerusalem Artichoke Pre-Sales are Open!
Greetings, mortal gardeners! My time spent coaxing life from the soil draws to a quiet pause, and the season of Jerusalem Artichoke tubers is slipping into its winter slumber. I have watched each one swell beneath the earth in my enchanted patch, and now they await their turn to wander into your realm.
Pre-sales are officially open.
As the snows lift and daylight stirs the land awake, shipping will begin across Canada. Those of you rooted in British Columbia may see your parcels sprout their journey as early as March, should you desire an early awakening.If you prefer a later arrival, the choice rests in your hands like a seed waiting for the right moment.For gardeners who wish to welcome Sunchokes immediately, I’m still sending them out upon request—no need to wait for spring’s grand unfurling. 🌱✨
May your beds be bold, your tubers plentiful, and your harvests worthy of legend.
Know this: you must choose the proper shipping at checkout. If it is incorrect, I will find a way to let you know, and the right postage will be required before your order is released. If your items fit into a smaller box, a refund will be given for the difference.
Any seeds ordered alongside tubers will be sent out right away at no extra shipping cost. The tubers themselves will travel in spring, tucked into a Canada Post flat-rate box and accompanied by a tracking number so you can follow their journey.

Sunchokes truly are superheroes in the garden, and the nutrient-dense food they produce will be a valuable asset for food security in the future.

Preserve Biodiversity with Open-Pollinated Heirloom Seeds Grown In Canada
I do not have images on some products as my phone died and I can not get into that phone yet. Thus, images will appear on many listings when I can access my summer photos with a micro card reader.
Heirloom Treasures: Cultivating a Legacy of Rare Seeds for Tomorrow’s Food Security
This collection of heirloom seeds, sunchokes, potatoes, and bulbs is from my own garden, and I grow them using open-pollinated seed or tubers/ bulbs. I prioritize saving rare and endangered genetic material. As, I believe that preserving our biodiversity for future generations is the most important contribution I can make during my time on Earth. Due the Grand Solar Minimum, I have focused on collecting short-season heirloom seed varieties for Canada to ensure food security in the future.
These are seeds that have never undergone treatment with chemicals, fungicides, or pesticides. They are guaranteed to be free from any such substances.
I aim to provide heirloom seeds that have a history and are special in some way. My goal is to provide you with information that will assist you in saving these seeds and you will never have to buy them again. Not sure how to save seeds? No problem! You can learn how to save seeds in my blog posts and every week I put out a podcast called “In The Garden With Susan” with tips and tricks on seed saving and gardening.
At this time, I can only ship to addresses in Canada.
Due to continual issues with the Podcast player on the home page, I have had to remove it. Please find “In The Garden With Susan” Podcast here, or at the Garden Faerie Botanicals Rumble Channel, or even at the Garden Faerie Botanicals You Tube Channel!
