Shifting Paradigms in Medicine #28 - Cultivating Medicinal Seeds with Plant Expert Richo Cech

Richo Cech started his professional work as an archaeologist and ethnobotanist in East Africa. Upon his return to the United States in 1978, he began cultivating and saving the seeds of medicinal plants. Richo is internationally recognized as an expert on medicinal plant domestication, cultivation, processing, and usage. He has botanized worldwide and is responsible for introducing numerous unique introductions, rare plants, and many common medicinal plants and permacultural trees, which are currently conserved and multiplied in his greenhouses and gardens. Over the years, his gardens have become the basis for Strictly Medicinal Seeds, growers of organic, open-pollinated, and GMO-free seeds and plants of medicinal herbs, aromatics, succulents, and permaculture perennials. Richo and his family produce a popular yearly, hand-illustrated seed catalog that provides access to this collection of common, quirky, eclectic, and bizarre seeds and plants. His books include "Making Plant Medicine" (2000), "Growing At-Risk Medicinal Herbs" (2002/2017), and "Growing Plant Medicine" (2022). These days, on his farm in Williams, Oregon, he continues to grow diverse seed crops, harvesting and planting seeds every day with faith and love.
