I guess most people on the list will know of Plants For A Future http://www.pfaf.org
and our plant database http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/D_search.html
we've done all the work on the database and our demonstration gardens
on virtually no income with only a handful of people.
Well now financial realities are beginning to bite and we are in a
tricky spot and need all the help we can get.
To be brutally honest pfaf is really in dire straights at the
moment (one thinks of an appropriate swearword but it might
offend the list). We are working on a rescue plan which
has two main ingredients
1) grants to employ paid workers
2) Trying to recruit 1000 friends of pfaf
We have acquired considerable debt in the purchase of our
demonstration gardens in Devon, England. When we get it running
the demo gardens could be really special, we have 80 acres of land
and 1000's of useful plants to demonstrate. However, at the moment
we are not getting sufficient income to meet repayments on the
land. But if we could manage to recruit 1000 Friends then
we could secure repayments on the land and the demonstration gardens
would be saved from the accountants.
