The Custodian
Behind a grove of mango trees in Dehradun, a living library of indigenous seeds is being kept. Seeds hold time: past knowledge, present conditions, future possibilities. In an era of climate distress and agricultural uniformity, this seedbank offers an alternative. Protecting seeds means protecting sovereignty. Tending the soil means tending our shared future. For landscape architects, a seedbank is not a museum. It is climate infrastructure. Watch. Then consider: how does seedkeeping inform your work?
