HAVE: Surprise Packages for January Newbies

Hi everyone,

I want to extend a little welcome to new members that join gardenweb during the month of January.

To those that respond, I will send you a surprise pack with seeds to help you get started. Each envelope will contain a minimum of 10 different seed varieties.

This offer is open only to new gardenweb members than join in January 2009 (as noted on your member page).

Please post here if you qualify for this offer. First come first serve. I will keep this offer open during the month of January, as long as I have sufficient seeds to share, so hurry if you want to take advantage of getting some free seeds.

Please make sure email is enabled on your gardenweb profile so I can contact you privately to get your mailing address.

Thanks....Heather

    Hello Heather,

    I could really use and would greatly appreciate your offer of seeds, if any are still available.

    Thank you kindly!

    Just responded to your email, Heather. Thanks for your warm welcome and kind offer of seeds.

    I have been spending the last two weeks reading the forums and trying to plan the back and front yard of our house. We spent our first summer here 'weed-wackin' and getting rid of old trees, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and think what's next. We'd love to plant veggies, herbs and pretty flowers.

    This is an awesome community and I look forward to sharing my experiences and seeds in the future.

    Hi Heather,

    Thanks for your very generous offer. I have been looking at the US area for seed exchange and stumbled across the Canadian one. What a great idea!! I can't wait to start trading seeds.

    Thanks for the warm welcome,

    Hello!

    I just signed up from Ottawa, ON and will be planting away at a cottage North of here before too long. (We can wish that, anyways, given it's the dead of winter.) Restarting my granddad's tradition of having a real garden on the property.

    Thanks for your offer, please e-mail me if still available :-)

    Hi IfIwasabutterfly,
    Yes I received your email and emailed you back last night. I sent you another email this morning. Please check you spam folder as it looks like your computer might be blocking my emails (it was sent directly to your email..not through gardenweb).

    Thanks....Heather

    A quick note to any other lurkers that might be thinking of joining gardenweb and haven't yet. Give in! You know you're going to. I'll still have seeds left to share to help you get started when you sign up.

    Also, when creating your member profile, it is helpful if you list the zone you are in and province. If you have time, it is also helpful if you start your trade list or even list a few of the things you'd like to grow on your "seeds I'm looking for" list. This will help me get a sense of what will grow in your region and your particular preferences.

    Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from more new members that have joined in January.

    Hi folks,
    Just a friendly reminder..this is not a sase offer. This offer is intended for people that join gardenweb in January 2009, as noted on their profile. I am hoping to get new members to form part of our trading community.

    Thanks for your understanding.

    Heather,
    Finally got around to picking up my mail, and in amongst the bills and the usual junk, there was a ray of sunshine. It's people like you that make the world a better place. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
