Hardy Fern Foundation
The Hardy Fern Foundation is a non-profit, membership organization established to provide a comprehensive collection of the world's hardy ferns for display, testing, evaluation, public education and introduction to the gardening and horticultural community.
Formed to seek out the many rare and unusual species as well as hybrids and varieties to be propagated from spore and tested in selected environments for their different degrees of hardiness and ornamental garden value, members participate in a spore exchange, receive a quarterly newsletter and have first access to ferns as they are ready for distribution. It is a unique opportunity to participate in and contribute to expanding horticultural knowledge and the introduction of new plants into cultivation. |
