Hi,

I am interested meeting you and seeing examples of farms and gardens in the Uusimaa region. I have just moved to Hyvinkää and would like some practical ideas and examples which work (and maybe don’t work) in the climate.

I am pretty keen, so perhaps we can start an active thread so we can get to know each other a bit and maybe do some meet ups throughout summer 2020?

I would just like to bump this again, how has the seed exchange gone so far?

I am looking at moving to Finland at the start of 2019 and am looking at starting my own food forest from scratch. Anyone in the Lahti area?

Well hehe..It has been totally quiet . I've been busy bee sharing graft material, and not so much of seeds. I am from Helsinki, so it is quite near to go to Lahti, do you have some seeds that you need?

Oh and if the quince message was for me, I'd have to say that those seeds I don't need right now thanks.

Hi Janne,

So I must confess I have been a little distracted from this site, lost my sign in info, excuse, excuse, excuse... but anyway. I ended up buying in Hyvinkää so I am even closer. What I am actually struggling to find is comfrey bocking 14? I think I have found a couple of nursery’s and seed stores to get me started this summer (for others reference these are my favourites https://hyotykasviyhdistys.fi and https://www.ahosentaimisto.fi/ do you have any other recommendations? I am pretty keen to see some permaculture farms or gardens in the Uusimaa area(I am confined to trains and public transport)

Sorry for the belated reply
