St. Louis, MO - Every day the Missouri Botanical Garden works to discover 
and share knowledge about plants and their environment in order to 
preserve and enrich life. In striving to fulfill that mission, the William 
L. Brown Center (WLBC) at the Missouri Botanical Garden is embarking on an 
effort to preserve biodiversity and traditional plant knowledge. The 
program, Sacred Seeds, is a network of living gardens around the world 
containing locally important plants, including those of medicinal, 
ceremonial, food crop, and craft value. The Sacred Seeds program is 
managed by the WLBC at the Missouri Botanical Garden and is supported by 
New Chapter Organics and Organic Gardening.
