This seed was shared by then Field Officer Peter Daw with his neighbour (June's cousin), Des Sutton, who then shared it with June for her garden in Ulverstone, Tasmania, where she had been growing it every since. When runner beans lost favour with gardeners, The Diggers Club put the seed in our seed bank, and Clive and Penny kept some seeds for themselves to grow in their own garden. It is from their personal collection and seed from our seed vault that we have been fortunate to re-release this world-renowned heirloom runner bean.","brand":"Diggers Club","offers":[{"title":"Packet of 10 seeds","offer_id":41082657144994,"sku":"S031","price":7.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0488\/7855\/1202\/products\/bean-white-lady-s031.png?v=1643251900"},{"product_id":"bean-kahnawake-mohawk","title":"Bean 'Kahnawake Mohawk'","description":"Exclusive to Diggers through our Seed Donation program, the original seed was brought to Australia by John, an Italian Gardener, who shared this seed over a decade ago with Kel York (Diggers member and Seed Donor).

Most commonly used as a dried bean because of its rich sweet beans, when young they can be enjoyed fresh from the vine.
