We're all filled up! Thanks!

Ursula gave me a good suggestion a few weeks ago on how to raise some more money for the Garden Angel program while giving out some fun seeds from her collection.

So, without further ado, here's the deal: Ursula has sent me seeds to distribute out to those who want to participate. Each package contains 12 different packets of seeds, each collected by Ursula in Chile. Anyone who donates $5 to the Garden Angel program will get the seeds sent to them (by me).

Participation is limited to the first 20 people who reply to this thread and say that they are interested. If you want to participate, post here and I will email you the rest of the details.

Here is the list of seeds that you'll be getting.

Thanks everyone - look for an email from me shortly.

Dave

Many thanks to all participants. You probably know how grateful I personally am to the GAF. Your contribution will help DG members that cannot afford renewal of their subscriptions or have difficulties to obtain dollar-checks in their countries to be among us for one more period. This is specially important for people that are having hard times, because Daves Garden is much more than just a gardening site. DG is also friendship, compassion, has the greatest "prayer team", a wonderful group of people (and the loveliest pets).

I love Dave's Garden!

'Tis a great thing you did, Ursula. Pretty wonderful, and for a wonderful reason. I applaud you whole-heartedly! And, once again, thanks to Dave also.
DG rocks!

Many thanks! Keep smilin'!!

Yep, thanks for doing this Ursula :D

Dave, did you send out emails yet? Cuz if you did , I did not get it yet.

E-mails go out this morning! I'll post in this thread after I send the mails, so you know to look for them.

dave

Great Job Ursula!!!

Mails are sent! If you don't receive the email, let me know.

dave

dave , my check is in the mail. so glad i was able to get in on this. thanks, Great Job Ursula !!!!

This is/was a wonderful idea. By the looks of it (and it's super success) - it would be worth repeating - if another opportunity presents itself. My check is on it's way too. :-) Thanks to you both!

Dave and Ursula, Thanks for this offer. Our mailman has already scooped up the funds and they are on their way to you.

How wonderful! A big thanks to Ursula for generously sharing her seeds so that several more people can enjoy the full use of DG - a "win/win" for everyone!

The funds have been mailed.Thanks Ursula and Dave!

On the way, thanks Ursula and Dave!!

Jean
