Annex 1: Note on sourcing plant material 51 Although the present work provides the reader with potential sources of plant material for each of the ten species described, they are not intended as an exhaustive list of suppliers, but rather as a reference point. The nurseries presented here have been randomly selected and, where possible, European suppliers have been given priority. For the best choices of plant material and best sourcing options, the growers should consider the particularities of the soil, climate, etc, along with the most desirable characteristics of the plant from his /her perspective. The current booklet is envisioned only as the first step in a more comprehensive agricultural project for Northern/Western Europe. In the second phase of this project, the focus will be on the selection of best-suited varieties and cultivars and the creation of a point of acquisition/distribution. Seeing that the commercial sources may not always satisfy the criteria for adequate plant material, the project will also consider alternative, private collections where possible. Mr Joseph Simcox, one of the authors of this book, will act as a facilitator for sourcing the best varieties. Aside from being a botanical explorer and researcher for most of his life, Mr Simcox has a personal, extensive collection of edible plants, which includes multiple accessions for most of the species in this book. He also has an established network of passionate growers and professionals in agricultural studies that could assist in this project. Pagina 60
