Shaped by insights from over 10,000 members who told us what they love about being part of Diggers. We’ve listened, and we are excited to share how this feedback has shaped membership changes from June 2025.

• Renewing members now receive a $20 welcome back gift instead of pre-selected seeds. This welcome back gift will be valid for 6 months and can be used across Diggers well loved and extensive seed range.

• The magazine is digital-first, with a print option for those who prefer it under our Heritage membership option.

• We’ve added new benefits: including an expanded education program, curated digital courses, expert-led webinars and in-person workshops and events.

This is our first price change in over six years. It allows us to keep delivering what matters: preserving rare seeds, offering expert education, maintaining our historic gardens, and staying true to our mission. The new price reflects expanded benefits, not just inflation.
