Virtual garden club forming

The Phinney Neighborhood Association has created a "Virtual Garden Club," which lets gardeners exchange information and ideas with other area greenthumbs. The moderated e-mail list through yahoo.com is open to any interested gardener, according to the PNA's October newsletter. "It is our hope that club members will use this list to exchange information, ideas, suggestions and maybe even a plant or two," the newsletter states. To become part of the PNA's Virtual Garden Club, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/virtual_gardening/ and register as a new user.
