Re: plant count, new member

Hi Jodi,

Welcome!  Just to clarify, the GWL is not part of GWA, even though most of
the posters are members of GWA. For many years while I was a GWA officer, we
debated whether or not to do a list serve, and we decided not to (many
reasons, but we didn't want one person's opinion to be taken as speaking for
the GWA). 

Hope you still consider your membership worth it!  This list serve is a
great source of info and sharing?I wouldn't be without either membership!

Cheers, 
Cathy
