The Fern Club

Hi, it’s Victor from sword fern collective. Want mail you’ll actually like? Join the Fern Club, and every three months I’ll snail mail send you a curated envelope to your mailbox!

Your seasonal package will include an exclusive limited-batch hand-assembled sword fern zine, exclusive sticker, a poem we’re enjoying, and a seasonal surprise! You’ll also receive access to member-only content and be featured on our website as a supporter. Why not receive something in the mail you actually like?

Join now: our first 30 supporters receive an exclusive discount – thank you!

*Exclusive limited-batch means that these zines/stickers won’t be coming back. They are first-dibs for Fern Club members only!


Mailouts will be shipped in February, May, August, and November.
Make sure you have an active subscription by the 1st of the shipment month! Mailouts will be shipped by Canada Post lettermail mid-month, and you should receive your package by end of month. There is no tracking – if there’s a problem with your shipment please contact us at hello+fernclub@swordfern.org and I’ll make it right.

By joining the Fern Club, your membership directly funds:

  • All costs associated with putting together mailouts: shipping, zine design, printing, etc.
  • Honoraria for the artists, poets, and facilitators we bring into our spaces
  • Food and snacks at our events, because we love feeding our community
  • Venue costs that keep our programming accessible
  • Our operating costs, tools, materials, and working toward the day we can properly compensate our team for their work
  • And more programming to come!

With your support, you’ll directly make the work we do possible – which is to equip our communities with the emotional and spiritual skills needed to navigate through the climate crisis.

Did you know that our collective fully runs on a combination of small grants, goodwill, volunteers, and hundreds of hours of unpaid labour? The events we’ve been able to organize (such as The Art of Change, climate death cafés, and climate trivia nights) are free or low-cost to participants and we want to keep it that way!

The Fern Club is a way for us to continue our work without always relying on grants cycles and volunteer labour. A membership means more stability in our operations – and it means we can give our members a little something in return.

Yes! If money is a barrier, we may be able to offer a limited number of subsidized subscriptions thanks to the support of our other ferns. Please directly email me at hello+fernclub@swordfern.org to get in touch.

You can securely modify your payment method or cancel your subscription at any time by clicking here.

Please fill out this form and I’ll process your request as soon as possible. Note that address changes must be received by the 1st of the shipment month in order for me to send out your package in time.

If you have any questions, if you’re unhappy with your order, or if there’s an issue, please contact us at hello+fernclub@swordfern.org and I’ll make it right.
