Subject: IthacaPlantCycle- a new Yahoo Group for sharing plants & information
Date: Mon, 08 Nov 2010 11:13:37 -0500
There is a new Yahoo group for local gardeners who want to share plants
and plant information: IthacaPlantCycle.
IthacaPlantCycle is a grassroots community-based effort to distribute
plants, food and plant knowledge in our community. The IthacaPlantcycle
model and inspiration comes from Freecycle (if you aren't a member, and
want to be, google Ithacafreecycle), and we hereby formally acknowledge
the role of Freecycle in Plantcycle's inception.
Plantcycle follows a similar protocol to Freecycle, although there are
differences. Categories can include the following:
Wanted:
* Plants
* Produce
* Tools/Equipment
* Advice
Offered:
* Plants
* Produce
* Tools/Equipment
* Advice/Alerts
Taken: * Plants
* Produce
* Tools/Equipment
All plants must be disease-free, and if grown with chemicals that are not
organic, such chemicals must be stated in the communication.
To join, go to this site:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ithacaplantcycle/ and enter your e-mail
address, which does NOT have to be a Yahoo address.
If you have problems, e-mail pduttster AT gmail.com.
Please send this e-mail to others who might be interested in this group.
The idea to do this occurred to me in the summer, and sorry that it has
taken me this long to get permissions and find the best (I hope) way to
do this.
