I personally think this would open up a can of worms in addition to more work on a already busy volunteer. In addition, legally the PBS does not sell plants so can't refund a sale since no sale occurred. All money involved are donations. To offer otherwise would blur the lines of nonprofit. I could be wrong, but either way not very practical for a nonprofit volunteer group.
