What are we growing?
Club members are compiling our plant lists (some of us are in denial about just how many pets we have). We're starting with plant names and registration numbers, but expect to add images and descriptions as time goes on. The list gives you an idea of the breadth of interests and variety of tastes among club members, as well as what to expect when you visit one of our sales.
Club members share leaves freely with each other. If you lust after one of our varieties, perhaps it's worth joining just to get some leaves!
