This is not my original idea. It's copied from another DG member that did something similar some 2 years ago.

There are lots of people in the world that are suffering at this moment. I don't have the power to change the world, but I want to try to make 10 people feel that we at DG do care for them.

I want you to provide me with NAMES AND ADDRESSES (do not post them here, please e-mail me) of people that are having a bad time is it because of loneliness, the loss of a family member or a beloved pet, financial troubles, disease, lost their garden to the hurricanes, etc. You can even suggest people that do not belong to DG or that do not celebrate Christmas.

I have prepared 10 sets of very nice seeds to send them and make them feel they are important to us. These are fresh, viable seeds from my collection; many of these are seeds of Chilean Native plants.

Please send me this info no later than Dec. 1st, so I can mail them in the certainty they will be received by Christmas.

Should there be more nominees than sets of seeds, I will make random choices.

The Lord bless you all.

Ursula

What a thoughtful gift to offer to others! Fantastic!

And Folks, having rec'd seeds from Ursula I know without a doubt that the recipients will be pleasantly amazed and surprised. What a great assortment (and packaged so nicely)!

Thank you all very much, but as I said, this is a 'stolen' idea.

Also, thanks for the birthday wishes. Today was a beautiful cloudless day with 31ºC (approx. 90ºF).

Please keep suggesting names (and addresses).

Hugs, hugs, hugs (I love them!),

Ursula
