Exotic Plant Show The EPS 2001 has been cancelled due to a lack of exhibitors and the potential financial risk of not having a decent show. MEETINGS The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 26th September at 8:00pm and will be held in the Christchurch YMCA conference room. Parking is available in the YMCA carpark - access from Cashel St.

Once any donated seed has been divided up into saleable packets you will be credited with 1 packet of free seed for every 3 packets that result from your donation. Seed orders and donations should be sent to: Fern Norton Seed Bank Director P.O. Box 7 Sefton North Canterbury Alternatively the seed-bank should be available at most meetings.

Titles obtained so far include: The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato Carnivorous Plants by Adrian Slack Carnivorous Plants of Australia Volume 3 by Allen Lowrie Marketplace Is your collection missing one or two vital additions? Do you have a surplus of plants and need some room? Send in your CP-related buy/sell/exchange ads and they'll be placed both in the newsletter and on the NZCPS Christchurch Branch website for free. |
