The American Fern Society Spore Exchange is an important part of the American Fern Society. One of the goals of the AFS is to cultivate ferns. The Exchange makes hundreds of ferns available that would otherwise be unobtainable for most members. Our collections can be easily expanded and diversified. Often times members can share spores from rare or endangered ferns thereby safeguarding the species so that our grandchildren may also enjoy these beautiful plants. The Exchange was begun in the early 60's and has been successfully swapping ferns ever since.
The spores from the ferns listed in the exchange have
been donated by the
members of the AFS.
Members
of the AFS may
order the ferns listed by sending a self-addressed stamped
envelope,
plus 50 cents for each fern ordered to:
