There are at least two Ugandan Nabuur villages who have created their own seed nurseries. If you contact their Local Reps they may be able to offer you some practical advice on how the local community can setup the beds themselves, or suggest other Ugandan organisations who could help you do this. They are Kiyuni Parish http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/kiyuni-parish Local Rep is Denis http://www.nabuur.com/en/user/marsha/profile External website http://www.slint.org/ Nakaliro http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/nakaliro-0 Local Rep is Joseph http://www.nabuur.com/en/user/jingo-joseph-nkumbi/profile External website http://www.cardiuganda.co.cc/ = From what you write, it appears that you already have a good source of seeds. But if you decide that you are interested in obtaining more, or different varieties, have a look at the following sites, which can also provide you with training material: Trees For The Future http://www.treesftf.org "Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and our country programs, we have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations." They do not provide money, but do provide free seeds and training materials. Application form at http://www.plant-trees.org/projects/projectsignup_english.htm The New Forests Project http://www.newforestsproject.org Their World Seed Program provides free seeds, training materials, irrigation kits and small grants to non-profit groups in developing countries. The site contains information on how this works, the types of seeds, who qualifies, and how to apply. ECHO http://www.echonet.org/ Among other things they have a Seed Bank http://www.echonet.org/content/SeedBank which will send out up to 10 packets of seeds to groups in developing countries so that they can try out new crops - if successful, farmers can either save seed to use themselves and pass on to others, or find a local supplier. Wide variety available, listed on the site, along with advice on the best varieties for different areas. Mary [teaser] => Hello!
