SUMMARY:NARGS Seed Exchange Packaging
DESCRIPTION:\nNARGS Seed Packaging Session\nQuotation from Ralph Waldo Emer
 son*\n“I am present at the sowing of the seed of the world.\nWith a geom
 etry of sunbeams\, the soul lays the foundations of nature”\nBy Panayoti
  Kelaidis\n\nI am not sure if we can promise that your soul will be laying
  any foundations if you join us in January for the second [and I assure yo
 u the LAST] edition of “Rocky Mountain Chapter fulfills the second phase
  of the NARGS seed exchange”. What we CAN promise is that you will learn
  a lot about seed\, about what gardeners around the world are interested i
 n and that you’ll meet some other wonderful members of our chapter and h
 ave a good time.\n\nThe NARGS seed exchange is one of a kind: there are ac
 tually quite a few rock garden societies on the planet—from the Czech Re
 public to New Zealand. Canada has TWO not including NARGS (which encompass
 es most of Canada incidentally). The British Isles have several. All have 
 terrific seedlists—but NARGS is not only especially large in quantities 
 of seed\, it is INDEXED BY DONOR\,\n\n[caption id="attachment_17964" align

 see who to thank when you obtain some treasure you’ve yearned for all yo
 ur life! Or you can eventually let them know they sent you the wrong seed 
 (not everything is always perfect).\n\nI have personally sent in seed to N
 ARGS for nearly a half century\, and this exchange has been the source of 
 some of the greatest treasures I’ve obtained over the years. I wrote a l
 ong blog post once about this very subject you enjoy perusing. https://pra
 iriebreak.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-tale-of-seeds-and-wonderall-about.html\n\
 nJust as in January of last year\, we will be housing the exchange in the 
 Evergreen Room B\, located on the second floor of the Marnie's Pavilion. M
 arnie's Pavilion is located direct west of the DBG conservatory. Evergreen
  Room B is right next to the entrance to the Horticulture Department offic
 es.\n\nBecause the room is not huge\, we are limiting people working on th
 e exchange to a maximum of 10 people at a time. Please book a no cost tick
 et for a seat in any of the sessions below to reserve your space. You can 
 book more than one session if you wish to participate for a full day. If a
  session is filled\, it will become unavailable. There are two sessions ea
 ch day that are either\n\n 	9:00 - 12:30 pm\n 	12:30 - 4:00 pm\n\nThank yo
 u in advance for volunteering! I look forward to seeing you in January!\n\
