    2017 ARHS Seed Exchange

    2017 ARHS Seed Exchange Sharon Bryson … Seed Exchange Chair Welcome to the 2017 Seed Exchange for the Atlantic Rhododendron & Horticultural Society. The electronic approach to the Seed Exchange seems to work very well. The seed list and order form will go out to all those with email addresses. A hard copy will be made available to those without email. Once again we will post the Seed List on the Internet which will have a full complement of links to many images and information to help in your decision-making. The online version will have periodic updates on seed lot availability. Visit The Willow Garden website and follow the links for 2017 ARHS Seed Exchange. A link to the list will be inserted on the Atlantic Rhodo site. We again wish to thank the faithful contributors who have made this possible. The overall success of our Seed Exchange depends upon seed contributions by our members, so please make a “mental note” to save some interesting seeds for next years’ Exchange. There is always an interest in the Companion Plant section as well as the Azalea and Rhododendron sections. Success also depends upon members purchasing seed. Many interesting plants can be added to our gardens by simply growing a few seeds. Plant enthusiasts outside of our regional society have again made valuable contributions to our annual exchange. Crosses from Y. Doi from Japan are especially noteworthy. Quantities of most are quite small, so order early if you are interested in these lots. Our 2017 list has several seed lots from the 2016 list.
