Tips on Conservation.
Whilst growing on our bulb treasures there are a few simple
tips to help us with the conservation and correct dissemination of the
plant material in your garden.
------------------------------------------------
ensure your material is from wild
collected seeds, (for wild collected collections).
ask your bulb supplier for any
history of the bulbs that you purchase.
when purchasing bulbs, also ask
for collection details, where did the collector first obtain the material?
teach your children about the benefits
of gardening and conserving bulbs.
ask for rare bulbs at your local nursery
supplier. This may prompt more conservation indirectly. It is only when the
consumer asks for a product when the supplier realizes it is available and
should supply it. It is a very subtle yet powerful thing. This in turn and
in time would be very useful for conservation.
Share your bulbs when they set
seeds with other enthusiasts.
Remember to mention in your what
will happen with your bulbs when you go back to His 'Great Garden' in the
sky.
