International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Season’s Greetings Number 48 The Scottish Rock Garden Club December 2013 ---International Rock Gardener--- December 2013 The Editorial Team of the IRG joins with all SRGC Members to send Seasonal Greetings to all our readers worldwide. We very much appreciate your continued support, notes and emails. There are many who contribute to the IRG - from the authors and photographers to our hardworking index-compiling and proof-reading helpers, Glassford Sprunt and Richard Green – all of these fine people are deserving of our respect and thanks.(A full index is appended to this issue.) The most important partners in this enterprise must, however, be our readers, without whom our efforts would be somewhat futile so we are pleased that reader numbers are continuing to rise each month. Such success means that we are ever more hungry for fresh articles so please be assured that any submissions, from you, with fine photographs of plants and gardens are keenly awaited! Contact is simple – email [email protected] with your text and photos or indeed ideas and comments: we will be delighted to hear from you. The initiative between the SRGC and the Czech Prague Rock Garden Club is proving fruitful! ZZ, Ian and I are eager to keep the momentum of the IRG going into the fifth year of what we thought might only be a one-year experimental project. The Scottish Rock Garden Club is serious in its resolve to both share enthusiasm for and disseminate information about the diminutive mountain and wild-land plants of the world which fascinate so many people. It is our hope in the IRG Team that we express the international nature of that interest and the determination to combine and collaborate with other like-minded organisations wherever they may be, following on the example of our Forum. The SRGC Forum is proud to have been a starting point for others, such as those of the NARGS and VRV debating areas which we encourage and happily watch growing in strength. The SRGC Forum is one of the most active in the world and continues to offer a platform for many and varied discussions for members and visitors alike. Many IRG contributors, whether of articles or photographs, are forum members and they demonstrate the richness of knowledge and experience that is available to share in our world of plants. The printed journal of the SRGC is a long-standing example of the quality of information that has been shared with members over the years and the vast majority of which is now freely accessible online for anyone to read and study. Also on the website are such features as an archive, chronicling the seed hunting expeditions of the late J.C. Archibald, and the weekly Bulb Log Diary of Ian Young, continuing its weekly appearances which began in 2003. There is more besides, of course, both online and with local groups and shows “in the real world” Two of the finest “outreach” projects of the SRGC are its annual Seed Exchange where thousands of types of seeds donated by club members and friends of the club are offered in a distribution that comprises tens of thousands of packets to thousands of members and our various Grant Schemes. We hope that readers knowing little of the Scottish Rock Garden Club who may have just found the IRG online will find the ethos and activities of the club to be of interest – if so you may be interested in supporting our work. That is possible in several ways - join the club as a member to receive journals by post or online or just make a donation, possible from our main webpage or any forum page, to help the SRGC continue to promote the alpine and rock garden plants of the world, to the world while bringing gardeners together in friendship.
