We are very grateful to Chantal Guiraud, who is the manager of the MGF seed fund and who came across with the idea. This cooperation will be evaluated for one year. If it turns out to be successful, it will continue; if not, we will discontinue it. Please read the instructions carefully to avoid frustration. All paid members of the PBS can from now on participate in the activities of the MGF, such as garden visits, workshops and presentations, provided that all MGF members can be accommodated. You find the current activities on the bilingual MGF website https://mediterraneangardening.frAs practically all activities take place around the French side of the Mediterranean, it is worthwhile checking the website if you travel to this area. The other benefits of the new cooperation vary depending on where you live: in the EU, in the USA, in the UK, or in another country. We are facing severe restrictions between different countries when it comes to sending seed. As a society we have to stick to the rules, hence the different versions and limitations of this cooperation. *EU members of the PBS*can order seed from the MGF seed fund, which includes access to the index seminum of the private Botanical Garden of Château Pérouse near Nîmes in France. Each paid PBS member is entitled to 10 packets of seed per year free of charge. The expense of seed and postage is covered by PBS membership dues. Please state that you are a PBS member when ordering. Orders must be sent to Chantal Guiraud (and not to Martin Bohnet, who runs the PBS seed exchange)Please follow the instructions on the website seeds@mediterraneangardening.fr The MGF seed fund depends on your generosity, so please consider donating seed. Here is the MGF seed fundhttps://mediterraneangardening.fr/mgi-seed-collection-collection-de-graines-mgi/ And here is the index seminum of Château Pérousehttps://www.chateau-perouse.com/tuinen/index.php?route=product/category&path=3 *US members of the PBS*can only order seed from Château Pérouse, and not from the MGF. In order to avoid trickling in orders to Château Pérouse repeatedly, a representative selection of seed will be chosen by the US seed exchange manager and offered to the US membership in a procedure similar to the usual seed exchange. The seed will be sent from France to the US in bulk, using a Small Lots of Seed permit, which will limit the number of packets to 50. Individual orders from Château Pérouse are not possible, so please refrain from attempting that. The first offering is scheduled for autumn sowing this year. We are very grateful to Jan-Willem Vos, the owner of Château Pérouse, and his team for their generosity and support. *UK members of the PBS and members from other countries*can participate in garden visits and other activities of MGF. But unfortunately no seed orders from an EU country are possible. There may be a (costly) possibility to order seed from the US seed exchange to the UK. All UK members will receive a personal email from a mailing list with further information. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Uli Urban, coordinator for Europe atjohannes-ulrich-urban@t-online.de The Board of the Pacific Bulb Society _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pbs Unsubscribe: PBS Forum latest:https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?action=recent From pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:17:02 -0700 Message-Id: <211761278.843682.1780893467608@mail.yahoo.com> From: Robert Lauf via pbs Subject: new cooperation between PBS and MGF Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 04:37:47 +0000 (UTC) What a great project!  Many thanks to Uli and the Board for their initiative, and it will be fun to see how this develops. Is there some way we can reciprocate by sharing our seeds, or is the US importation process unique because of our "small lot seed" category?  Seems like a shame to take and not give something back.

The only legal way to send seed to the European Union or the UK is to accompany it with a phytosanitary certificate. Apart from the time and effort required to fulfill the requirements of such a permit the sheer cost is probably a limiting factor: 70$ for 7 packets of seed. Your point of taking but not giving back is quite important. This is the reason US members cannot order from the MGF seed fund. It is not large enough to remain sustainable if that would happen. That also underlines the generosity of the owner of Château Pérouse who is not receiving but still allowing access to the seed fund by the SX manager in the US.

If the flesh is firm, ship the berry clean and intact. Use paper packing material, glassine or toilet paper for bulk, and if shipping berries, don't crowd them in case one starts moulding. The bare seeds can be shipped easily as long as they are not damaged...a few days in glassine are no problem. As Arnolds says, ship in a box, automated machinery will squish a padded envelope flat.

It depends for how long they will be traveling until they reach their destination but even if there should be some mold, it would not matter. I would not peel off the red skin and wrap them into dry kitchen towel and pack them in a way that they don’t get crushed. If you peel off the red skin the seeds might dry out which is worse than some mold. They need to be peeled before sowing as the seed coat of many seeds contains germination inhibitors.

I've always removed the other skin and let the seeds dry off.  Recalcitrant seeds when Rod and Rachel were sending them never had the skin on them. And although I agree that boxes are probably the best I've also packed them in plastic used pill bottles with tape over the top or old slide boxes (I'm a great recycler) or anything else that seems strong enough to protect them. I never got a report back from all I sent that the seeds were damaged, even some I sent to cold climates in late fall. If you wait too long they start sprouting or shriveling and then success is much less so it is wonderful news that Lindsey is considering offering these kind of seeds right away.
