http://www.molesseeds.co.uk/ is probably among the cheapest but a lot of seed suppliers will offer bulk discounts if you approch them about it.

if your allotment association is part of National allotment association, you get a discount for seeds from Kings and your association gets a small amount back as well  :)

Our Allotment Society buys from Kings Seeds. They give a discount but prices are reasonable in the first place and seem nice people.

Tozer Seeds also supply seeds in bulk (and are veg breeders), in fact they supply most of the packet trade like T&M etc.

www.tozerseeds.com or www.tozerseedsdirect.com
