By a third episode, an expedition becomes more than a set of places on a map. It becomes a chance to ask whose knowledge travels with a plant, whose names are remembered, and what it means to keep a living genetic line in the world. Here is Episode 3 of the Strain Hunters South Africa expedition from Green House Seed Co, a company CloneBuzzz Genetics buys from.
Watch Episode 3 on YouTube. Catch up with Episode 1 and Episode 2.
Keep the story with the genetics
Preservation should mean more than keeping a plant name alive. The places and people associated with a genetic line deserve attention too. Films can invite us to ask those questions, provided we remember that a camera captures one perspective, not the whole history of a community.
Our connection
CloneBuzzz Genetics buys from Green House Seed Co, while our own focus is supplying living clones to safeguard distinctive genetics in South Africa. We want this country to take the plant seriously as a culture and way of life with its own identity, not reduce it to drugs or smoking. That is why this South African series belongs in our blog.
