Contacting Other Gardeners

AN EMAIL LIST (on Riseup.net) exists for use by ICG member gardeners only. It provides for direct communication between gardeners: please use it to announce events, ask for feedback or information, share gardening advice, etc.

TO JOIN: If you are a member and would like to have your email address added to the list, please email ithacagardensboard@gmail.com with “Add me to Email List” in the subject line, and your email address & full name in the body of the message.

TO POST A MESSAGE to the list, simply send a message, using the blind copy slot (Bcc: ithacacommunitygardens@lists.riseup.net), so that way people can easily reply to you, without the message perhaps inadvertently going out to the whole email list. Be sure to use the same email that was used to add you to the list. (FYI the feature for sending & replying to messages directly from the Riseup.net website is disabled due to security concerns).

    • Posting Guidelines
    • Check that your message is related to gardening or relevant to most gardeners.
    • Double-check that your subject line is clear & concise, so readers quickly see the message topic.
    • If forwarding another message, please remove any extra info — blank lines, extra headers, etc.
    • Or, feel free to send the message to president@ithacacommunitygardens.org for cleanup/posting!
