Subject: [EXTERNAL] Chinese medicinal herbs

Hello All,

I do not usually post but felt that perhaps someone here would have an
interest in the following. Peggy Schafer has been care taking a Chinese
medicinal herb farm for more than 20 years and is looking to pass it on to
someone. I insert her communication below and encourage anyone interested
to contact her directly. Many thanks.-Roy

It is time for the Chinese Medicinal Herb Farm living collection to be more
out in the world – please pass this along to anyone who you might feel
would be interested.

Conservation of the herbal traditions of China is part of Chinese Medicinal
Herb Farm’s mission. Over the past 22 years the farm has procured and
carefully managed an extensive living collection of Chinese medicinal
plants. Many of these plants were originally wild-collected many years ago
are very rare and some are endangered; some are the only living examples in
the United States. It has become clear to us that the importance of this
collection requires an organization to carry a replica of the collection
forward for future generations. This unique collection has inherent value
in terms of education and conservation as well as having contemporary and
historical cultural and medicinal significance. We are actively looking for
an organization who might steward such a collection. The scope of germplasm
of the can be found at:

Thank you, Peg
