You are invited to join the
NEW JERSEY NATIVE PLANT AND SEED EXCHANGE
Using native plants in our landscaping is becoming more popular as people become more enlightened about biodiversity and the importance of native
plants to other creatures that depend on them. Natives are desirable also for their ease of maintenance and low requirements in terms of water and fertilizer if planted in their appropriate habitat.
However obtaining native plants is not always an easy matter since many commercial nurseries do not carry much of a selection. In order to help
promote the use of natives and provide an additional low-cost way to obtain plants, we have started this Yahoo group mailing list forum.
This forum provides a means for people in the New Jersey area to exchange locally native plants and seeds. If you have extras of some species, need to thin out an area of the garden, or are putting in a path and don't have anywhere to move the plants to, offer them here.
All offers must be free of charge. Plants must be dug and picked up at the offerer's location by the recipient unless otherwise agreed. At the end of the season, you can also share some seeds.

Posting Photos
In order to post photos, you must first upload the photos onto the internet. You need to either have your own web space to do this, or get a free subscription to Photobucket.com or Webshots.com or a photo service like that, or Wunderground.com weather site, and now Google.com has this also through gmail accounts. So upload the photo to the internet, then go to it and right or left click on it (ctrl + click on a Mac) to open it in a new window. Copy the address of where the photo is located on the internet, and paste it into the "Optional Image URL" box on your post before you post it. You may use the "preview" key to see if the photo is loaded and the address copied correctly. You can post multiple messages by typing img src="photoaddresshere" you must surround this by "<" and ">" Post any questions on how to put photos up on the forum and we will help you.
