Index Seminum

In the Garden are cultivated plants in danger of disappearance in Italy and in the world. Of these plants are collected the seeds that, after careful preparation, are stored in the “bank” of the Garden, in collaboration with the main European “seed banks”. The collections of seeds allow to conserve also the plants that will not be able to survive in the natural environments subjected to excessive anthropic pressure.
