It is that time of year again for the hosta seed exchange. This is a small fundraiser that we hold each year to help us out with our time and expenses for the forums, plus it is a great chance to get some hosta seeds to grow over the winter
For those of you who are new to this, people can post their list of seeds being offered here on the seed forum. List the seeds you have to offer, and about how many packages you think you have. People normally put about a teaspoon of seed in a package, sometimes more, sometimes less. The best packages to use are the little small, open end coin envelopes. Once you post your list, people then send you a private message listing which seeds they would like and give your address. The person donating the seeds will mail them to you, then it is up to you to mail a donation to us. Checks can be made to Hallson Gardens and sent to:
Hallson Gardens
PO Box 220
Brooklyn, MI 49230
Donations are up to you, though some people will ask for a minimum amount. Donations of $1 to $3 per package are common, $10, or $20 overall are reasonable, but the amount is up to you - we just ask that you do make some kind of donation for the effort.
Due to the high cost of processing credit cards and debit cards we ask that this option only be used for donations of at least $10.00 (key entered debit cards cost us about $1.00 in banking fees in addition to processing charges), however you can make donations by credit card here: http://www.perennialnursery.com/catalog ... ation.html
Once the seeds have been requested the person who posted the list should update the new quantity available. Some people donating seeds will ask me to confirm receipt of donation prior to sending the seeds.
Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for your support
Sincerely yours,
Chris
