ResourcesThe aim of this comprehensive and excellent new site is to provide
a "one-stop-shop" of link resources for people who are interested in
in-situ agricultural and horticultural plant genetic resources and their
preservation and who are looking for easy access on the how & why of
seedsaving, on sources (world-wide) for organic, heirloom, open-pollinated and
non-GMO seed and plants, on seed-swapping with other gardeners/growers, on crop
