ALPINE SEEDS
If you are feeling adventurous then try collecting seeds from alpines to grow in your own garden. Some of the seeds need nature to take care of them so put them in a pot, label them and put them in a sheltered spot away from slugs. Some might germinate quickly but others need a frosting before they appear. Alpine plants are one of the easiest plants to grow from cuttings. If you see any plants you like the look of then cut off a couple of small pieces of stem with a node on it and push it into compost. Be careful if you try this in garden centres or parks as you could get arrested for stealing. Stick to friends’ gardens!

You wouldn't believe how many people we stop from taking cuttings from plants in the garden centre!
