The Heritage Seed Library (HSL) have Seed Guardians who grow a rare seed/plant specifically for seed saving - returning the seeds to the HSL for its Seed Library and distribution to members.
There's a French organisation https://gardiensdesemences.com/seedguardians which is similar but there is more involvement with shops and restaurants to suggest varieties and sell the produce.
Worth looking at this website as it lists the seeds chosen each year - some I recognise, many I don't but feel I would like to grow.
Some of the HSL seeds are named after the original grower or location - like Uncle Fred's Runner bean or Nameless Allotment lettuce!
My question is - do any of you grow and save seeds from the same plant every year because its a family heirloom or one that you've grown for many years that will have adapted to suit your growing conditions?
