GEVES

Visitors will be welcomed to discover the premises and have a presentation of the specific and unique missions and activities in France provided by the GEVES (Group of Studies and Control of Varieties and Seeds). A mini-conference will provide an understanding of the conservation of heritage plant resources and its challenges. A guided tour will open the doors of one of the world’s largest seed collections. A discovery workshop will be an opportunity to put yourself in the shoes of an expert in seed quality control and thus discover the physical diversity of seeds, their germination, the pests that can harm their health. Visitors can also freely discover the exhibition "Seeds?" built with different actors and enthusiasts of the world of plants and seeds, an opportunity to explore this universe in different facets (technical, scientific, economic, historical and even artistic).
