a group of students of our school is doing a study project on spices (botany, history, world trade and other aspects) relating to India.
In this first stage we are looking for all the possible documentation (information, references, addresses).

We try to organise next spring a public exhibition of our work. We would like to exhibit the Pepper Tree (Piper nigrum) and the Nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans).
Unfortunately we can't find these in the Greenhouses of entire Europe and the fresh seeds are not available too.

Can you help us to find some addresses (fax, e-mail) in India where we can ask a little quantity of fresh seeds of some spices, particularly of Peppe, Nutmeg and Cinnamon to sow in our greenhouse ?

We are looking forward to your reply and thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully
