MEET THE CONTRACTORS

 

We love to know our contractors and what they’re up to. We’ll gladly post a bio for you - if you’d like to submit a short bio, personal website links, or pictures, please send them to seedbank@chicagobotanic.org. This enables our community of contract seed collectors to learn about one another and trade species from their respective target lists, as well as promoting and representing a great group of individuals committed to seed collecting, restoration, and conservation.
