New menu option "ORG&HPS Donations"
One of the ways our society satisfies one of our constitutional objectives, "Promote and enhance the study of alpine and hardy plants as well as the creation of rock
gardens and other suitable habitats", is to donate funds to various causes, groups or individuals.
We have requested some feedback in return for each donation and we will be sharing their feedback going forward under the menu option ORG&HPS Donations.
We have posted our first feedback from Vojtěch Holubec and David Horák for donations we have provided to them for their research for a new book "Flowers of Historical Tibet (Tibet-Qinghai Mountain Plateau)" You can find their article with plenty of very nice photos here.
