Participate in Variety Trials

You are invited to be part of our mission to make the seed system more transparent and resilient by signing up to participate in collaborative variety trials on SeedLinked! Jump ahead to collaborative variety trial sign up!

Taking part in collaborative variety trials is a great way to: 

• Grow new and exciting varieties before they are released commercially.
• Provide vital feedback on how the varieties perform. Your reviews will be available (anonymously) to help other growers choose seeds on the SeedLinked Marketplace.
• Participate in the discussion on the trial community feed where you can learn from other growers, share your expertise, and build community.
• Get instant access to trial results when you complete each trial.

What am I committing to when I sign up to be part of a collaborative variety trial on SeedLinked?

• When you sign up, you must create a free SeedLinked Account.
• The trial manager will review your request to participate in trials and may or may not ask you to officially join depending on your location, experience, or grower type (gardener or farmer).
• Once you get accepted to join the trial, you will get a confirmation email.
• The trial manager for the trial will send you seeds and will ask you to grow out each variety and submit your reviews, comments, and photos on the SeedLinked website and/or app during the growing season.
• The trial manager for each collaborative variety trial will communicate more specific details about participating.
