The pedagogical contents and practical exercises in this manual were developed by the project "Germinar um banco de sementes", whose central focus was creating a seed bank to promote its use, exchange and conservation.
We would like to extend a special thank you for the enthusiasm surrounding our project, "Sprouting a Seed Bank." The growing interest in these small, yet powerful, guardians of biodiversity has far exceeded our expectations! At the moment, we do not have any seeds available for sharing.
With your support, we believe new seeds will continue to arrive to replenish our collection and increase the diversity we can share.
We are working on bringing a new selection of varieties soon. In the meantime, follow our updates on our website and social media, and together, we will continue to grow this project!
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project aims to create a seed bank involving the school community.
Sowing the seed and watching it sprout is magical!
During three mornings, this partnership allowed us to interact with about 300 students from 11 classes from the Padre Bartolomeu de Gusmão Group of Schools (Lisbon). Once again, we hope to have left the seed of conservation.

When this project on environmental education was presented to us, we wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. It is "contaminating" the school, the students, the teachers and the school community. I believe in the future, the seeds that this team has planted will germinate throughout the school.

Martim adores the project so much he asked to sow in this confinement phase. We are sowing coriander, parsley and also peas
In Portugal's capital, community gardens, consumer cooperatives, and local actions are being created to raise awareness of the importance of preserving the environment. Acting in different areas, the projects have in common the will to promote sustainability and counteract the throwaway culture. In between, they strengthen ties and create new communities.
