An Heirloom’s Tale

Tell the story of an heirloom vegetable or fruit variety grown in your garden.

Every heirloom variety has its own unique history. How did this plant make its way to your garden? What are the tales and traditions around it? Maybe it was a tomato variety brought from Italy in your great-grandmother’s suitcase, or a rare pepper variety nurtured for generations. This prompt guides you to explore the fascinating history of biodiversity through your personal experiences.
