It is possible but it does not make much sense. The non-IPEN garden must accept the IPEN conditions either by signing the IPEN Material Supply Agreement for any plant transfer or by a bilateral agreement that complies with the CBD and with IPEN. In the last case it would be easier to become an IPEN member.
