WANTED: International Seed Exchange

18 years ago

Since the US introduced regulations requiring a Phytosanitary Certificate with seed imports, people outside the US haven't been allowed to post on the Seed Exchange Forum.

The US has now introduced a new scheme which allows the import of small lots of seed into the US, so people in the US are legally able to exchange seeds with people outside the US again. Details of the new scheme are on http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq/permits/plantproducts/nursery.html

I'd love to be able to get in touch with people all around the world again to arrange seed exchanges, so I've posted on the Suggestions Forum asking for an International Seed Exchange Forum.

If you'd like one too, please go over and add a post.

Thank you!

Sorry, the original post on the Suggestions Forum has been deleted accidentally. I've reposted on the thread called "Crazylady - Can you repost?"

GW are now considering the idea of an International Seed Exchange with their legal department - so the more posts asking for it, the more likely it is that we'll get it.

Please go over to the new link below and add your voice.

Thanks

CrazyLady

Hi Val, I live just outside Malaga and have been hosting these exchanges for a few years. Have you ever participated in CrazyLady's exchanges - mine work the same way. There are nearly 100 participants this year from various places in Europe other than Spain and lots of S. American countries. The main thread on www.infojardin.com is under the exchange section called 4Âº Intercambio Internacional. If you don't understand Spanish you can send me an email with your email address and I'll get back to you in English with complete details.
