Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: This new poem from local poet Frederick Livingston reminds me, yet again, of the deeper planetary dimensions of unity, mutualism, resilience, harmony and, yes, delight borne through 'applied biodiversity', locally-applied.

I suspect you have ready access to cultivars you want, but if you're chasing anything unusual, please do let me know and I'll see whether we have it within reach. Love to help. Blessings!
