Letter of Wishes

Many of us have acquired special ferns over the years to add to our personal collections, both outdoor and tender, indoor ferns. If we would like to know that these cherished ferns will find a suitable home when we are gone, it can be useful to make plans ahead of time to express these wishes to someone who can administer this action on our behalf. Ferns in particular would benefit from being adopted quickly.

 

If you would like members of the BPS to assist in finding a suitable host for your ferns, we have produced a Letter of Wishes you can download. You can leave this alongside your will or with someone you trust to contact us. This Letter is not legally binding, but helps your executors understand your wishes.
