Forgive my ignorance, but what is RHS, and how do you get the free
seeds?

Royal Horticultural Society. Haven't done it for years, but around this
time of year I went to their main office and picked up a catalogue/list
of spare seeds you could request for free. Reading Janet's post, looks
like you can get the list and apply on their website - presumably for
members only.

Some gardens give away free seeds to visitors. I was at Ventnor gardens
some years ago and there was a trayful of seeds in envelopes, marked
free-help yourself.

Ventnor Botanical Gardens are in trouble and it looks as if it may close.
Not been running as a commercial business for years. Ideal spot for
building retirement bungalows and houses for the retired. South facing sun
trap.

It would be a shame if it closed. We thought it was excellent. That was 10
or more years ago mind.
