Mr Fothergill's is one of Britain's best-loved seed companies, founded in 1978 by Michael Fothergill in Newmarket, Suffolk. What started as a small mail-order seed business has grown into a major supplier of flower seeds, vegetable seeds, bulbs, and garden sundries across the UK and Ireland. Mr Fothergill's distinguishes itself through an unwavering commitment to seed quality, with every batch tested for germination rates before reaching gardeners. The company holds a Royal Warrant and has won numerous awards at the Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival. Their seed range encompasses over 1,500 varieties, from heritage heirloom vegetables to cutting-edge F1 hybrid flowers bred for disease resistance and spectacular colour. Mr Fothergill's also pioneered seed tape technology and biodegradable seed mats that make sowing small seeds remarkably easy, even for complete beginners.
Irish gardeners have embraced Mr Fothergill's seeds for their exceptional reliability in Ireland's unique growing conditions. The Irish climate offers a surprisingly long growing season thanks to mild winters influenced by the Gulf Stream, but shorter daylight hours and cooler summers require seed varieties selected for these specific conditions. Mr Fothergill's range includes numerous varieties tested for northern European climates, with many performing brilliantly in Irish gardens from Donegal to Waterford. Their vegetable seed collections are particularly popular among Ireland's growing community of allotment holders and kitchen gardeners, offering everything from quick-cropping salad leaves perfect for Ireland's damp summers to robust root vegetables that store well through mild Irish winters.
