Obtaining your own seeds - passing on knowledge, preserving diversity

More and more people are discovering the benefits of having their own vegetable garden - and with it an interest in home-grown seeds. After all, those who propagate their own seeds not only ensure greater independence, but also make a valuable contribution to preserving biodiversity.

The knowledge of how to obtain your own seeds is an old cultural asset - and is revived in our courses. It's not just about harvesting and drying correctly, but also about selecting varieties, storage and exchanging ideas with other gardeners.
