Burpee 'Martha Washington’s Kitchen Garden' Seed Collection – 8 Historic Heirloom Vegetables Grown at Mount Vernon with Plant Labels & Keepsake Recipe Card

Step back in time and bring a taste of early American gardening to your home with the Martha Washington’s Kitchen Garden Seed Collection. Inspired by the legendary kitchen garden once tended by Martha Washington — wife of America’s first president — this curated seed mix offers you a chance to grow authentic Colonial-era vegetables and herbs in your own backyard, raised bed, or container garden. Martha Washington, our nation's first First Lady, was a formidable woman whether accompanying General George Washington on the battlefield or managing the domestic and social fronts at their Mount Vernon estate in Northern Virginia. An enthusiastic gardener and recipe collector, she oversaw a kitchen garden that produced food year-round - its abundance made possible by the labor and expertise of the enslaved people who worked the land. Carefully selected and packaged by W. Atlee Burpee & Co., America’s historic seed company founded in 1876, this collection blends heritage, history, and homegrown freshness, making it perfect for heritage-garden enthusiasts, history lovers, or anyone wanting sustainable, homegrown produce. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced gardener, this collection brings charm, tradition, and edible bounty to your garden.
