All Hardy Fern Foundation members have unlimited access to our spore exchange and can choose from a wide variety of ferns. We offer something for everyone, whether you are an expert or just a beginner!
To Order: Please print your selections in alphabetical order. Include 50 cents for each fern requested, postage (Check made payable to Hardy Fern Foundation) and a self addressed bubble envelope (do not attach the postage to the envelope). If you are ordering more than a half dozen packages, send additional postage up to one dollar’s worth. There are no additional charges applied to overseas members, but please enclose an international postage coupon (2 for large orders) and an envelope. Please list a first and second choice. Some items are limited, so order early for best selection. If both choices are unavailable, would you like to donate the additional money to the foundation, or hold it for another order? If neither is indicated, we will consider it a donation to our endowment fund. At this time orders are not taken from the internet, so please follow instructions above. Orders will be sent within a month of post mark date.
Your fresh spores are always appreciated!!! We are trying to restock our inventory this year, so please consider collecting spore and donating it to the exchange. (Please package with collector’s last name and year collected on package - individually packaged spore is much appreciated).
