2012 CALENDAR

 
 

January 10th – February

Seed Exchange Workshops

The Henry Foundation for Botanical Research, 801 Stony Lane, Gladwyn PA


Join us to clean, sort, and package seeds at our annual Seed Exchange. Even if you never intend to propagate plants from seeds yourself, you will be amazed at how much you learn about all things green at these workshops, sharing information, learning new varieties and species, finding out about plant sources/nurseries, and other valuable information. No previous experience is necessary, nor do you have to attend an entire session. Come when you can. This is a great way to meet fellow HPSers and to learn on the job. The Seed Exchange is one of our most important activities and we need lots of helpers to make this event a success. To volunteer, email  info@hanrdyplat.org.

Seed orders accepted through January 18.

All workshops will be held January 10th – February at The Henry Foundation for Botanical Research, 10:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

Information about volunteering is in your Newsletter.
