Immerse yourself in American gardening history with the Burpee Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Garden Seed Collection — a carefully curated heirloom set inspired by the historic Monticello garden. This all-in-one kit includes 8 full-size seed packets of classic tomato, pepper, lettuce, bean, cucumber, onion, and flower varieties, along with plant labels and a Monticello keepsake card. This seed collection makes it easy to recreate a piece of the past with minimal fuss. Thomas Jefferson was one of America’s Founding Fathers, author of the Declaration of Independence, and our country’s 3rd President. Among the first Americans to garden scientifically, he tested hundreds of vegetables to select those that grew best. His garden was a horticultural melting pot of experimentation that benefited the nation and was made possible by the labor and expertise of the enslaved people who worked the land. From the rustic tang of a Costoluto Genovese tomato to the peppery punch of McMahon’s Bird hot pepper, and the cheerful color of trailing Nasturtium blooms, this kit offers both kitchen staples and ornamental appeal. It’s ideal for gardeners who love heritage plants, American history, or simply want a diverse, productive garden packed with flavor and charm. Grow enduring heirlooms, honor the legacy of one of America’s most renowned horticulturists, and enjoy a beautiful, edible garden that connects past and present. Whether you’re sowing seeds for the first time or expanding your heirloom collection, this kit brings Monticello’s spirit to your home garden.
