The great planting project we have here puts back what we have removed earlier during urbanisation. It is also important to preserve the biodiversity as well in the process. CUGE hence has an important mission to do just that. <br><br>We now have tree banks and your idea of seed-saving is something new but equally important for us to preserve the species of plants we have here. It is an initiative that we here in Singapore should also adopt.<br><br>To all gardening friends and Kate included - you are very much welcome to come to Singapore again. Let me know so that I can be your host!<br><br>Wilson Wong from Singaporegardeningwithwilson.comhttp://gardeningwithwilson.com/noreply@blogger.com
