We're having a membership drive, and you can earn acorns by inviting your friends to join! Do you have friends who love gardening, are online, but don't know about ATP? Now's your chance to let them know about your favorite gardening site, and earn acorns while doing it.

Thumb of 2012-07-02/dave/c010abWe all have friends outside of ATP. (Really? Well, some people do, anyway! Smiling ) Many of them use computers and maybe they are on facebook and places like that, but they don't know what a wealth of information can be found on places like ATP. So let's tell them about how much fun we're having here, and invite them to join in.

Let them know that we can help them identify their mystery plants. We can troubleshoot their growing problems, and we can suggest new cultivars. We can trade plants with them and help them keep track of what they grow. They'll love sharing photos from their own gardens into our database. When people start giving them thumbs for their posts and images, they'll be hooked.

So, here's how this works. Each member has been given a special referral link. You copy and paste that link and give it to your friends. When they visit the site through that link, they can immediately sign up. Once they log in, you get 10 acorns as a reward!

To find your referral link, go to your profile page by clicking on the person icon on the top-left of the page. Then scroll down to the "Some info about..." box and you'll see it at the end. Just give them that address and they will be all set.

As an extra incentive, at 6pm CT on Friday, January 9th, I will award an additional 100 acorns to the member who referred the most signups.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to post them in the comments below. Good luck, and have fun!
