Seeds of Success (RBG Kew) Workshop

On March 24, 2007 VNPS will host Andy Walker of North Carolina Botanical Garden at the University of Richmond for a day long workshop teaching us the proper methods for seed collection for our project with the Millenium Seed Bank's Seeds of Success Program. A schedule will be posted soon. There will be both a field and a lab section to the training. VNPS has a list of 60+ plants that need to be collected. If you are interested in the program, please contact nstaunton@earthlink.net. The project is focused on evaluating and collecting large numbers of seeds from big populations of common plants, and the documentation necessary for the collections.
