The Botanic garden in Ljubljana exchanges seeds of plants on the basis of written sources with other gardens from the very beginnings of its activity in 1810. The first printed list of seeds was given in 1889. Since then, this exchange has been documented. Since 1994, the University Botanic Gardens Ljubljana lists the seeds collected in the wild in the list of seeds regularly in a separate section. In the seed bank in a dry place is located about 3000 different plant species with over 12000 bags. In the permanent seed bank, we already store 702 species, which is 20,3 % of the flora of Slovenia.
