Seed Stewardship Project

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH UNITED PLANT SAVERS

Seed Stewardship Project

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Mountain Rose Herbs created the Seed Stewardship Project to raise awareness about at-risk plants that are in need of our help. It is our hope that this solution-oriented approach of supplying free seeds to those able to plant them will help rebuild the populations of these special plants. We thank you for being a seed steward in your community and for helping us to create a ripple of change for people, plants, and planet.

As a bonus to supplying free seeds, we've created an interactive map for seed recipients to add pins showing which seeds they've planted and where. We hope to fill the map as our seed steward community grows. Learn more, and add your pin below!

UNITED PLANT SAVERS

Since their inception, Mountain Rose Herbs has actively co-campaigned with UpS. Their mission is to protect native medicinal plants, fungi, and their habitats while ensuring renewable populations for use by generations to come. They offer information on planting your own endangered herb garden, plus loads of advice and membership services.

COMMUNITY SEED MAP

We've created this community map for seed stewards to add individual pins, showcasing which seeds have been planted and where. We hope to fill the map with pins, as we rebuild the populations of these special plants. Explore the map below, and click on any pin to see details and user-added photos. Directions for adding your own pin are provided below.
