Yep our dollar sucks. For every $1000.00 dollar US it will cost $1,500.00 Canadian

Yes carl, the bidding of seeds in the GVGO auction on Sunday afternoon at 2 pm will be in Canadian dollars. We as a Canadian club couldn't justify holding it in US dollars.

For US bidders they will get up to 40% discount on their bids due to the exchange. European growers will enjoy a 50% discount as 1 Euro = $1.50 Canadian.

We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday afternoon. A special thanks to all those growers who helped & supported us with seed donations. Your support is gratefully appreciated by us all here at the GVGO.
Good luck, we hope you find that special seed that you've been looking for.

Cheers,
Jane & Phil

Hopefully our fellow Canadians will see that this is their best shot to get that great seed they want at Canadian prices. All we can do is hope for the best Carl.

Cheers,
