Saving the Seeds to Preserve History and Biodiversity
In this workshop, you will discover the magic of saving seeds. You will learn about the project and its correlation to biodiversity and history. The most unique aspect of the program, its historic seed collection will be highlighted. For example, the latest donation will help restore 'Bere' barley to the peninsula of Kintyre in Scotland. At one time this barley, thought to have been introduced to Scotland by the Vikings as early as 900 A.D. was extensively grown but, had since been lost. Additionally, a selection of plants are being grown from the Inca Indians of the Andes region of South America highlighted in the book, "Lost Crop of the Incas".
