Dear Members living in the EU The donation time window for the autumn seed and bulb exchange is now open until further notice. Please read this notice carefully. Please send your donation to Martin Bohnet, Ludwigstr. 1 73035 Göppingen Germany Please remember that bulbs should be clean and healthy and seed free of chaff and debris. As in previous exchanges we ask you to pre-pack 5 portions of seed on a voluntary basis, the portions should contain enough seed for a good potful of seedlings, at least 5 seeds with rare plants and less with super rare ones. Seed envelopes are available free of charge from Martin: (garak@code-garak.de) If there is a lot more seed available than 5 packets, you can include a larger packet for Martin to do extra portions if requested. Pre packing seed is a tremendous help for Martin. Bulbs should be sent in one bag per species and_not_ pre-packed. Please label each species of seed/bulb with the botanical name_and_ your own name. Every donor will be refunded the postage for the donation, please send a copy of your receipt to Martin. We will do two consecutive exchanges this autumn, the time window for donations will remain open for some time. Please do not get stressed with seed which is not ripe by now, or with bulbs still growing, they will be for the next spring exchange. This notice will appear in the PBS Forum, in the old email list and all EU members will receive it as a private email. We have received some correspondence concerning this coming BX, it looks as if it will be a very good one. This might be a reason for non members to consider joining the PBS, as only fully paid members with a postal address in the EU will be entitled to order. Once Martin has compiled the new BX list it will go online through the same channels. Thank you all very much in advance! Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of questions or difficulties.
