I do try to keep the links page from the Forum as up to date as I can..... but that's not easy, either :-\

http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=links   .... anyone can suggest a link for those pages, of course, in which case my task is lightened!

Absolutely no criticism intended, Maggi (especially not on your birthday). I know how much work you put in. And it's easy to lob suggestions like this from the sidelines if I don't have to do anything about it. It was just a thought. Maybe if the nurseries links bit was just at some point made a bit more prominent, with an invite for people to send in suggestions for new links?

I did not know that existed.  And what nurseries are we allowed to add?

How do I found the links page from the forum homepage?  I can't find it for want of trying.

Nurseries you know give good service, value , quality plants, Neil,that sort of thing.

 I haven't added some names to the list in the past because they haven't had websites and the system requires that.

There really is no money to be made in specialist nurseries. Too much hard work  for too little return.

I didn't know that was there. Never thought to click on the Links button on the forum. It looks like a much much more comprehensive list, with more detail, than the list of nurseries you get by clicking on Links on the SRGC main website page. Could that Link be set to click through to this forum list?

Would it be a good idea to report links that no longer work?  I notice that The Codonopsis Website now advertises a Villa to rent in Cyprus.  Most frustrating when I wanted information on Codonopsis. :( :( :(

Maggi - a notable omission is:

BURIED TREASURE
Rannveig Wallis, LlwynIfan, Porthyrhyd, Carmarthen, UK. SA32 8BP.

No website & no email but still worth listing.
Gerry passed away  at home  on 25th February 2021 - his posts are  left  in the  forum in memory of him.
His was a long life - lived well.

The Codonopsis website is here:

I think the other address has been highjacked.
