The Association Kokopelli “Semeur de Vie” promotes and markets organic, royalty-free, and reproducible seeds, with the help of a professional network of producers and seed multipliers. Since 1999, it has been dedicated “to the protection of food and medicinal biodiversity, the production of seeds and seedlings derived from agroecology, and support for farming communities that no longer have access to fertile seeds.”
Between 1,400 and 2,000 varieties or species (depending on the season) are available on their website here. This selection is unique in its vitality and ability to be passed on. Kokopelli advocates for “the liberation of medicinal plants”!
Its “Rainbow of Medicinal Plants” collection includes 8 packets of medicinal plants (45 species and varieties), as well as a 2020 Kokopelli calendar in an organic cotton Kokopelli bag. It includes, in particular, a selection of sacred basil and agastache seeds.
