Like many fellow members of The Cottage Garden Society, at this time of year I’m busy sorting, packing and labelling seeds collected from my garden.

I will send them to Margaret Mason on the CGS committee for sorting and checking, before they are distributed to members who request them from the seed list sent out with our December journal.

Many of the plants in my garden are raised from free seed that I have sent for in previous years – a brilliant form of recycling! Read more about the CGS and our seed exchange on our website:
