Within the seedbank we have one paid coordinator and around 20-30 seed guardians who are volunteers. We are passionate about improving the diversity of seed available to our community and increasing accessibility to locally saved seed. Our seed guardians form a network of growers across the Stroud District, saving seed from vegetables, herbs and flowers from back gardens, allotments and community plots. Our saved seed is pooled and packaged in the Autumn, ready for distribution over the Winter months. We only ask for a donation in exchange for our seed. Each year the demand for saved seed increases, last year (2020) we supplied over 1000 packets of seed to the public of Stroud at markets, events and in collaboration with local community shops. As a group, we celebrate locally adapted seed, seed diversity and growing without the use of chemicals.

  • Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
    Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

ABSTRACT Salvia species have been used for culinary, medicinal, nutritional and pharmacological purposes. In recent years, studies have highlighted the effect of Salvia plants in preventing and controlling various diseases naturally in a more safe manner. They have many biologically active compounds like essential oils and polyphenolics, which have been found to possess antimicrobial, anti- mutagenic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-cholinesterase properties. Currently, the demand for these plants and their derivatives has increased in food and pharmaceutical industries because they are recognized as safe products. This review summarizes the nutritional, medicinal and industrial applications of genus Salvia. Keywords: Salvia species, Essential oil, Polyphenolic compounds, Medicinal applications. INTRODUCTION flavonoids and phenolic acids3.

    COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By TODD JASON CAVINS Bachelor of Science Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, Oklahoma 1997 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December, 1999 COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS Thesis Approved: ' 1 Thesis Advisor .. ;.; ,, ( Dean of the Graduate College 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The purpose of this study was to improve production methods of various specialty cut flower species. Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

  • Seed Company
    ROWS E E D C O. 7 INTRODUCING A NEW KIND OF SEED COMPANY Row 7 is the seed company that puts flavor first. Born from a unique cross-pollination of chefs and plant breeders, our mission is to change how we eat by fixing how — and what — we grow at scale. By working together in the field and kitchen, we create, test, taste and market delicious new plant varieties to make an impact in the soil and at the table. ROW 7 SEED CO. INTRODUCTION — 2 CHANGE BEGINS WITH THE SEED The best ingredients begin before they’re grown. Long before a chef conceives a dish and even before farmers sow their fields, the plant breeder helps decide what qualities an ingredient will bring to the table. The problem? Flavor doesn’t usually make the cut. Too often, plant breeders are asked to select for yield, shelf life and uniformity, at the expense of good food, nutrition and our environment. What if, instead, we started with what’s delicious? Pairing chefs and breeders in the field and kitchen, Row 7 seeks to rewrite the recipe for our food, developing new varieties of vegetables and grains that improve our diets and our landscapes. ROW 7 SEED CO. OUR STORY — 3 FARM TO TABLE. SEED TO FARM TO TABLE. OUR ROOTS Row 7 took root in the kitchen several years ago, when chef Dan Barber asked vegetable breeder Michael Mazourek if it was possible to breed a tastier butternut squash — one that didn’t need brown sugar or maple syrup to make it delicious.
