Default Seed plea!

To all who may be interested!

1) This is not a con, I must make that clear

2) If this is in the wrong place I apologize to all

I work for a company that is a registered charity (Charity No. 1000322) and we work with 'disaffected' teenagers, helping them deal with any of their problems and getting them inot work. We are currently trying to create a wildlife garden for the local Hospice (on the Isle of Wight). We urgently need any types of 'wild flower' seeds. If anyone has any they can spare, in the first instance contact me via private messaging on this forum, or on my company email. The address is in my profile. Thanks in advance.

To all who have sent seeds.

Thanks big time, one and all! A brilliant response.

Please, if you can, keep them coming. When the hospice garden is finished, we will be looking for other community projects to do.

I will do my very best to contact you individually to thank you for your efforts.
