Our Seed Library

Welcome to the Portal-Rodeo Seed Library site.

This is a project geared to forming a learning community around the saving and sharing of seeds for both edible and non-edible plants.

Seed saving is a part of our heritage and is also important in preserving biodiversity and improving our food sovereignty. The idea of seed saving is to save seeds from the best plants each year for planting again the next year. By doing this, the seeds are better adapted to our unique conditions. This also helps to preserve unique seed varieties. (The diversity of seeds in the world has dramatically decreased due to commercial seed farming practices.)
