Of the flora listed in the respective summaries and image & data pages, we can obtain seed from most of the species marked with a magenta stripe on the left. They are growing in various numbers on our site. While we use the seed we collect to sow (or germinate seedlings for) new areas, we are willing — with advance notice — to collect and/or save some for others.
Please be aware that we follow the 200 km rule. That is:
Seed must come from plants growing within a 200 kilometre (124 mile) radius of the project.
As such, we will only exchange seeds or plants with others in proximity to our site. For our part, we would like seed from the following species:
