Me, too.
It's a great idea to share what seeds we can with those that need them. There are some good ideas here, but, does it really need to be organized at all? If I notice that someone has an interest in something I have, I offer them seeds (or plants) in a Tree-Mail. If they have a trade then, that's fine, if not, no biggy. Somewhere down the line they'll likely have something to trade with someone, so it's all good.
The activity level of a member's site participation factors into the decision of how much I give for no (immediate) return, but then again, that's up to the individual doing the sharing. Share on the basis of what
you have to give, and
when you have time to actually send it.
If someone sends acorns because they want to...cool! If not, that's okay, too. They'll likely want to add to their ATP experience anyway by enjoying these plants in their gardens and by sharing the joys (and sometimes sorrows, too) of their results here, which adds to our over-all combined ATP experience. If the plants do well for them, they may even save their own seeds to share with others, thereby continuing the fun and rewarding activity of seed sharing.
