Can I request seeds from Kew's Millennium Seed Bank?

Two seed lists are available.

Seed dispatch

Dispatching seeds

Seeds are sent out to registered customers for use in research or restoration

One list relates to supply for general non-commercial research and trialling by organisations. The other relates to supply for research, breeding and training by organisations regarding food and fodder production, in respect of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA).

Please note that we are unable to accept seed requests from private individuals and will not normally be able to reply to such enquiries.
