Re: Increasing membership participation
Maybe some members just joined out of the need to solve a problem they were having. I don't think you can really get in depth in the threads unless you're a member and possibly they weren't interested in anything else. But they'll remember to come back to where they got their information.
I'm hoping my mother will join sometime this summer. She lives across the US from me in Oregon and I talked her into buying her first nana at the end of last summer and she never took it out of the pot. She's got it sitting outside in the shade now and said she'll plant it in the ground so once it takes off I think she'll be really impressed and get interested. I need to move my cannas and will send her some of those also. I bought those from a member here. I know she'll love them and will compliment her nana.
Another idea... maybe if we do some PMing to some members that we might have had some contact with in the past with buying, selling or whatever that hasn't posted in awhile... to just say hey, how is your garden growing it might brighten their day and get them going again. Sometimes, life just gets in the way!
