I hope there are other programs like this in the U.S.<br /><br />Ginny, I agree about their beauty, though they aren't showy, like so many hybrids.<br /><br />garden girl, Thanks for putting me on your blogroll.

One of the plants - hawkweed, bloomed last year, and it was a thrill being able to send them all the seeds.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment on my blog today. It's always neat to find another garden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284047851881823280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924014047319573263.post-26364521529569722212010-06-16T15:00:01.495-05:002010-06-16T15:00:01.495-05:00What a fantastic program!

I'll have to see if there's a similar program in Tennessee.Dave@TheHomeGardenhttp://www.GrowingTheHomeGarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924014047319573263.post-22186700391420640072010-06-16T11:29:10.494-05:002010-06-16T11:29:10.494-05:00Edith Hope, it seems logical that the UK, with its...Edith Hope, it seems logical that the UK, with its ancient history of landscape management and gardening would have such an organization.<br /><br />Thomas, if there is one, let me know.

Far from it, you are custodians for the nation and for future generations.
