About: Ecosourcing   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Ecosourcing is the practice of growing native plants from local seeds. The idea is to produce plants that are highly suitable to the very narrow local environment in which they were harvested and propagated. As a conservationist, you will appreciate that the great benefit of ecosourcing is its ability to maintain the widest possible diversity within species, rather than enabling a more generic overlay to take hold within a plant species. Any unique characteristics that belong to local variants of plant life will be maintained when ecosourcing is practised and promoted.

  • Ecosourcing is the practice of growing native plants from local seeds. The idea is to produce plants that are highly suitable to the very narrow local environment in which they were harvested and propagated.

Any unique characteristics that belong to local variants of plant life will be maintained when ecosourcing is practised and promoted. As a gardener, you will appreciate the increased suitability and hardiness of your plants that have been ecosourced. Encourage your local nursery to ecosource by explaining the benefits to your garden and the region you are in. Be aware that even in the same city, areas may vary between hill suburbs, beach suburbs and river flat suburbs, so keep this in mind when ecosourcing your plants. Projects that concentrate on restoring flora to a region benefit greatly from ecosourcing as a means for bringing a place back to the way it once was.
