This video is from our 2022 Seed Library Event “From The Ground Up: Everything you need to know about seed libraries”. This session was “Saving Rare Seeds and Heritage Varieties in Your Seed Library”.
Bob Wildfong of Seeds of Diversity led us through all the considerations involved in creating and maintaining a seed library of rare varieties. Bob reveiwed the best practices of these for small-scale seed saving and also delved into the details of keeping a useful seed collection: organizing, labelling, germination testing, and exchanging seeds within and among communities.
