The lovely people at Seed Parade are offering one lucky reader the chance to win 30 packets of seed each (The selection will include exotic ornamentals as well as unusual edibles).
With Seed Parades garden seeds, you could have strong, healthy growing plants with high yields of delicious fruits, vegetables and herbs.

We have had seed in the past and they were delivered fast and were a great quality, often with very high numbers of seed per packet.
To top it off, they also have a range of thousands of heirloom, traditional and rare varieties of every seed for mere pennies, so you can find your usual choice or try something new!
As well as selling top quality seed, Seed Parade also have an interesting blog and forum that are well worth checking out.
