This is a real shame... I wonder if there's a way to make a devolved seedex with individual members packeting & distributing seeds... just thinking as I type...
That sort of thing is what the Seed Teams are proposing for seed to have for the Shows, Malcolm .....COLLECTION OF SEED FOR 2021 SHOWSEven though we will not be running a main exchange in 2020-21, we have been thinking of the ways in which seed might be made available to members. We are therefore seeking volunteers who might collect some seed to be available for the SRGC shows that we hope will be able to take place in spring 2021. If you are a UK member, you could help us in the following way:• Collect seed of a few choice or unusual plants from your garden – no more than five types.• Check that these taxa were on the 2019-20 seed list; we will use the same numbers as last year.• E-mail seed@srgc.org.uk with a note of your 5 items and your postal address, so we can send you labels, glassine envelopes and instructions on packeting and returning seed.• Make up ten packets of each of your 5 items and send the seed back in to us for collation.If around 70 members help with this, we can have the normal volume of seed available for the shows in 2021. If we reach this point, the seed collection will then be closed. Neil and Sheila McNulty have offered to manage this process on our behalf; many thanks to them. We realise that if it is not possible to hold the shows, the seed may never be used, and we may have wasted effort, but we think it worthwhile trying.
