Club member Darragh Brady reports that she likes this nursery for plants:

Sunshine Farm & Gardens
They carry lots of rare and exotic plants to order from their place in WV, including a wide selection of hellebores. The owner Barry Glick appears to be a prolific speaker and master gardener.

Thanks, Darragh!

Seed This!

If you are a gardener then you likely collect seeds from your garden plants. A nice way to save them and share them, is to create your own seed packets! Easily identify and store your seeds without the detrimental moisture which often results when using plastic storage baggies.

Here are some good examples of seed packet designs that you can print out. Simply be creative and color it in yourself or just label!

If you need help identifying varieties of plants growing in your garden, Dave's Garden is a great resource. This national online garden community also lets you create personal wants & trade lists, and a garden journal.

Happy collecting & sharing!
