In addition to spring, one of the things we look forward to most each year is the members only seed exchange list from the North American Rock Garden Society.
This amazing list of plants, shared by members from around the world, is truly the place to find seed of rare, hard-to-find plants for rock gardens and pretty much any kind of garden. The seed list typically offers 3000-4000 different plants annually…probably the best in the world. The first round of distribution in January of each year is limited to 25 different seed types (35 if you donate seed), and the second round, which just went live, allows members to select another 100 varieties. We just got out order submitted, and now anxiously await their arrival.
We think the seed exchange alone is worth far more than the annual dues, but there’s so much more from tours, to meetings, to networking, and a great journal. So, if you want to become a seedaholic, here’s your path to addiction!
Thank you for that great promotion of the Rock Garden Society! We welcome all gardeners to join the Piedmont chapter. The seed exchange and the quarterly are outstanding benefits of national membership.
