I joined the national rock garden group yesterday and also the local group. Got an email (now that I am on the local email list) about their summer seed hunting trip. They have gone all over the world gathering seeds. I am hoping I can go on the next trip. There are actually many places here in Alaska to gather seeds also. Now that I am attached to the group I anticipate being able to learn a bunch to make my new rock garden successful. And of course contribute to the local group.
