The Toronto Botanical Garden Seed Exchange is in full swing. If you have seed you wish to donate, please follow these steps to package and submit them to the TBG 2013 SEEDEX.
1. The TBG Website has a video on how to collect and clean seeds (but don't worry they will clean the seeds for you).
2. To Collect, simply cut off the spent flower heads complete with seeds and drop them directly into a paper bag or envelope.
3. Clearly label your envelopes or paper bags (this is very important), with the botanical name and date collected, both on the outside of the package and on a piece of paper inside. Also include the source of the plant, such as the garden centre or plant sale where you purchased it.
4. Store your seed packages in a cool, dry place or in the fridge until you can drop them off at the TBG.
They can be dropped off any time in September and October at Reception, addressed to Head Gardener, Horticulture. Over the Winter the TBG volunteer team will clean, sort and repackage your donated seeds. In February watch the TBG website and Garden e-news for information on how you can order from the 2013 SEEDEX list.
