groups, indigenous organisations, Transition Town groups, schools
and individual collectors have joined hands for local seed action.
Seed Savers is now able to accept registration of Local Seed
Networks from groups all over the world.

helped people and organisations to create community-based
seed networks and to document local food growing practices
and local traditional varieties within Australia and elsewhere.

(Kastom Garden

banana project in Makira Island at Manivovo Training Centre,
and a Melanesian Seed Saving Conference, etc.;
- Ecuador Guardianes de Semillas in 2003 who have gone on
to do incredible seed work since;

is a small, non-government, non-profit organisation
dedicated to working toward sustainable human existence.
(Established in 1982).
We are based on a 30 hectare property south of Nannup
in the south-west of Western Australia. One of our projects
is establishing a gene-pool of useful species relevant
to our climatic conditions. We are having successes
with plants from the Mediterranean regions, the temperate
regions and the highland tropics.
As a part of that process we began accumulating information
on useful plants. We have now published several books
on useful plants and are working on others.
We teach Permaculture courses here and away.
