The Guest Plant Hosting Program offers the opportunity for club members (Hosts) to grow a modern and valuable daylily plant owned by the club for several (usually three) years for the increase which will then be sold at a club fund-raising event. The Host will be permitted to keep two fans of said guest plant in recognition of the effort expended to care for the daylily over that time period.

 

IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THIS PLANT, THE HOST MUST:

· Be a current member of DSSEW.

· Have attended three of the nine scheduled club events during the past year.

· Acquire a guest plant via a drawing.  Preference should be given to members who do not yet have a plant.  Members who already have guest plants may voluntarily withdraw from the drawing. 

· Sign this hosting agreement at the time of the plant pickup.  All plants remain the property of DSSEW.

· Mark the guest plant in the host garden with a marker provided by DSSEW.

· Provide the guest plant with good garden care (amended soil, sunny location, fertilizer and water).

· Not use the guest plant as a pod parent (pollen use is acceptable).

· Provide DSSEW with an annual progress report.  Notify DSSEW if the guest plant declines.

· Return all guest plants to DSSEW upon failure to comply with the above or upon discontinuing membership.

· Return the guest plant, less two fans, when requested for the Plant Sale
