Hello all -
This list has been more and more quite over the years, and has become
virtually inactive recently. I've had a number of member e-mail me
privately about this phenomenon. Nothing has been technically altered
about the list, and there is currently no intention to close it
down. It remains ready and willing to carry your conversations about
mediterranean climate gardening. As has always been the case, you
need only participate to make that happen.
Other forms have come into being since the inception of this group
back in 1994. The Mediterranean Garden Society created their own
web-based forum. How one interacts with that forum is different than
Medit-Plants and it has created its own community. I also created
recently a Facebook group based on mediterranean climate gardening
and it has grown in popularity, bringing many new faces to the table
as well as some of our stalwart Medit-Plants members. There is no
reason all of these groups cannot continue to exist concurrently.
I have done what I can to 'salt' this forum from time to time and
will continue to do so. But how the group continues into the future
depends entirely on its membership.
Best regards,
SeÃn O.
