Several other institutions such as polytechnic schools and delegations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries have been collecting material in order to create small gardens as a source for environmental education. An excellent example is the Jardim Algarve located at the Direcção Regional de Agricultura do Algarve. The Serralves Foundation has organized a medicinal and aromatic garden at Oporto As a commercial enterprise the Cantinho das Aromáticas–Viveiros develops the production and sale of MAPs using organic farming technology. Evaluation The BPGV and the Escola Superior Agrária de Elvas have been evaluating morphologically and agronomically the accessions of local populations of garlic, onion, coriander, parsley and hops. Some garlic and coriander accessions are being subjected to molecular analysis (Table 2). Table 2.
