Hi gang, I live in Middlesex County NJ, one of the worst hit areas. Many plants,trees in my yard were ruined. So I'd ask you to look at my want list and my have list for trade to replenish somewhat to it's former glory, I need especially flowers. ...I ALSO WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT ALL MY EXTRA SEEDS RECEIVED WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO MY OWN GARDEN CLUB,Terra Nova OF EDISON, NJ ,then passed to our "worse off" clubs especially district 8 (Shore area)... Some of our sister garden clubs here in NJ suffered devastating losses in their publically kept gardens for all to enjoy.(They basically just got washed away.)

Please e-mail me or look at my profile/member page to see what I have available and what I need.. thanks... for further info....(P.S. The photo is of Sunset Park Garden in Ship Bottom, NJ on LBI,BEFORE this all happened :( This area was maintained by the GC of Long Beach Island I beleive)

    Graanie-B,

    Tried to e-mail you but it came back so I'll post here.. First of all, thanks for responding..I know Camille as my sis used to live in Long Beach MS, (Gulf coast)...

    Our own (Terra Nova's own Gloria D.) member Gloria has volunteered to chair this "Sandy" project for the GardenClub of NJ. We are very proud of that. It is going to be ALOT of work...I am just doing this little seed/plant exchange thing on my own (If I get any extras)to present to Glor to give when they have the next "Sandy" restoration committee meeting at GCNJ next month.!!

    Let me know what you have to trade, thanks for responding!! HaPPY PLANTING!!

    My hubby and I boarded up and gutted out 3 hurricanes in 2004-2005 in Vero Beach, Fl. Didn't get anywhere near the damage as you guys did. I can offer a few seeds for a SASBE.

    Hi again, thanks for replying once again, I'm FINALLY able to respond back. The response here on this post and to my private e-mail has been overwhelming to say the least but in a GREAT way!! (Thanks!).... I will find out from our treasurer if our club will pay for postage. We have received so many replys that I personally cannot provide SASE's to all requesting to help out with this (without having to get a second job -hehehe!)...but our club may be able to do so. Please, make sure anything you are sending is compatable to the NJ Shore growing region 6B...also is a non-invasive to NJ and not on the Invasive species plant list....Please advise how much postage you would be requesting..... if approved, the seeds maybe sent to:

    Jean PIZ, Terra Nova V.P.
    66 Spring Street
    Edison, NJ 08820

    Thank you again so much for you help with this and I would again remind you that...ALL SEEDS RECEIVED WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO MY OWN GARDEN CLUB,Terra Nova OF EDISON, NJ ,then passed to our "worse off" clubs especially district 8 (Shore area)... Some of our sister garden clubs here in NJ suffered devastating losses in their publically kept gardens for all to enjoy.(They basically just got washed away.)

    Our own (Terra Nova's own Gloria D.) member Gloria has volunteered to chair this "Sandy" project for the GardenClub of New Jersey. We are very proud of that. I think they're all doing it already ... I am just doing this little seed/plant exchange thing on my own to present to Glor to give when they have the next committee meeting at GCNJ!! Happy Easter. Happy Passover, Happy Spring and Happy Planting my friends!!!

    Christine..SOCALGARDENGAL, what can I say? Received yesterdays mail the tons of flower seeds you have sent to help the devastated shore area. They will be given to Gloria D. the Chair for Garden Club of New Jersey's Sandy relief program. I will ask her to distribute to District 8 (Shore Region area) clubs who will be told to plant these in PUBLIC AREAS for all to see and serve as a beacon of hope and renewal. God Bless you for your generosity. If I can get a picture over the next few months, I will surely send it along to you.
    Thanks again! YOU ROCK!
