Sounds like you are way more advanced than the target group of this. Good for you, but that doesn't invalidate this effort ๐Ÿ˜Š

Although I agree that the library will probably have to restock from professionally managed seed stock in regular intervals, but that doesn't seem to be a real issue if they can get advise from more advanced growers.

more advanced growers.

Yeah, I guess my point is that seed saving is something even more advanced growers struggle with, and as more advanced/ semi-professional grower, I understand how difficult it is to do it well and not introduce a situation where someone undergoes a crop failure from bad/ diseased seed. I think there is a strong emphasis on seed saving in social media that generally unwarranted/ a lot of work with very little if any pay off (and sometimes a negative pay off).

If your goal is to expand the sphere of growers, setting up new growers for success is priority one. Nothing stops a novice gardener in their tracks faster than something happening that makes them think "I'm just a bad gardener".
