On Sunday 16th June 2019, KVANN (Norwegian Seed Savers) had a stand at the open day at the Ringve Botanical Garden in Trondheim! There were record crowds and good weather and many edimentals passed on to new owners! We sold about 30 different plants! We went plastic free which went very well! Plants were dug up the same morning and the almost bare-root plants were kept moist in glass jars and packed for customers in newspaper, writing the name of each plant on newspaper. We had a full grown flowering Angelica (KVANN) plant on display and both Bordalen and Markusteigen lines of Voss Angelica (see my book) \/ Vossakvann seedlings were sold. Many people thought the Angelica plant was a Troms\u00f8palme (similar to Giant Hogweed) and were amazed to see the difference in size between the seedlings and (2 years older), the full grown plant.
\nThanks for Meg and Elizabeth for helping out on the stand!
\nWe could have doubled the number of ramsons (ramsl\u00f8k) plants which sold out quickly!
\nThanks also to all the members who came along! Plants were half price for members!<\/p>\n
