Quality planting material and nursery records

Written by

in

Farmers are often offered a long menu of medicinal plants. The first record that matters is the planting material: the species, the source, and the fact that a threatened wild plant was not quietly dug up to fill the order.

Accreditation, where it exists, should be named from the official scheme. This page does not invent a certificate.

What a nursery record should be able to show

  • The scientific name, not only the trade name.
  • The source of the stock.
  • That a threatened wild plant was not dug up to fill the order.

Where an official accreditation scheme exists, name that scheme. This page does not invent a certificate.
