PGG Seed Exchange
Every autumn, PGG members are invited to collect seed of plants in their gardens, and send it to the seed exchange. In January, a list of seed for exchange is sent out to members, who can then request seeds from the list. Those donating seed can request up to 20 packets of free seed, whilst all other members can reuest up to 5 packets of seed.
I have now taken over the seed exchange from Patrick Phillips. There has been a diverse range of seed offered over the years but there is always room for more, so if you have something special in your garden that you think others would like then please do send in some seed. Please clean the seed as much as possible and label the envelope clearly, and if you have any helpful germination tips then add those too. All seeds are welcome, from annuals and perennials to shrubs and vegetables.
Those who send in seed can request up to 20 packets from the list, those who don't are restricted to 5 packets.
Seed for 2011 should be sent to:
Tracy Lean, Langston House Lodge, Chadlington, Oxfordshire OX7 3LU
Any enquiries to tracylean@gmail.com
NB. This service is available to members only.
The list for January 2010 is reproduced below for information...
Professional Gardeners Guild
Seed List 2010
Thank you to all those who have contributed to this bumper selection of seed. Those who have sent in seed can request up to 15 different packets, other members 5 packets.
I hope you find my catagorisation helpful.
