I just joined this group and I must say I've never been with a more friendly group of gardeners. I'm not sure about the little acorns?? but the idea is cute. Hello everyone!

Treehugger! Acorns are our currency here on ATP and you can buy the little icons over on the side -> with them. You may find you now have a few...

Thanks for you info.

Welcome to ATP treehugger! As Hetty said you can buy the badges you see on the right-hand side of our post, entire the "Not a Raffle, Raffles", give them as tips to other members, and occasionally use the to purchase ATP mugs and T-Shirts when they are offered..

OK I'm a slow learner.

A slow learner…Me too!

Beautiful Meconopsis!!!

Hello treehugger! You can read about the Acorns here: http://garden.org/special/acor...

And, you can purchase the cute little "microbadges" for 5 acorns apiece on your profile page under "Your Actions": manage your microbadges; browse and add badges! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions ... I'm not too good at explaining things but we're a very friendly bunch here and someone will always know the answer to questions!


to terrafirma too!

and nice meeting you treehugger

Thanks. Everyone is so kind. When I get a thumbs up should I be doing something?

No, it's just a way of letting you know that someone liked what you posted. If you see a post or photo you like, you can click on the green thumb icon to give that person a thumbs up.

And be sure to pass it around. Everyone loves getting thumbs up!! And they cost nothing to give!

Treehugger and terafirma.
So happy your found your way to All Things Plants. There is so much to see, share and learn here. And a great bunches of gardeners to do it with.

Thanks once again for all the info thumbs up to all of you.

Warm greetings from the Pacific Northwest, as well. Hope you settle in here and enjoy some of the forums which interest you. An easy way to acquire acorns is to post pictures into the database, and that helps increase our knowledge base as well.

We are glad to have you here.

Welcome to ATP. We are a friendly bunch if I do say so myself! And the acorns are the cash used here at ATP. Useful for all sorts of things.

Thumbs up are fun to give and receive and a great way to show you really liked a post.

Treehugger!

Welcome to ATP....the friendliest people around on the internet are right here!! I Thumbs up is a great away to acknowledge a post. On the specific Plant Forums I like to give thumbs up to people who post photos. I think if they took the time to post they deserve a little Thank You.
