BRITS POS – BRITS – South Africa’s first medicinal, indigenous and herbal seed bank containing more than 20 000 seeds was opened by Sandy Roberts, daughter of the late Margaret Roberts at the Margaret Roberts Herbal Centre in De Wildt last Saturday 17 May, commemorating its 20 years of closure.
The idea of the seed bank germinated in 2001 when Margaret and Sandy visited the Seychelles botanical gardens and saw a seed bank in which all the Seychelles indigenous seeds were safely sealed away for 50 years.
