MESEMB. STUDY GROUP PLANT EXCHANGE

It is always a pleasure to receive the MSG bulletin but I like the February and August issues in particular. The February issue contains the excellent seed list and in August details of the plant exchange.Here are some pictures of the 2013 exchange and a link to the site for more details of the group [ http://www.mesemb.org/    but please only use the main contact email for the group not that for the exchange scheme as this is no longer valid ] . You must be in the group to take part but do not need plants to exchange.

If you are not in the E.U. please check import restrictions.
