information for free. If you would like to donate some money
to us, DON'T!
Instead, we ask that make a small
donation to a very worthwhile charity. Money contributed
up to mid July 2008 will go to CAMDA and CDPF.
You donate direct to them by supporting a GardenAction author
in his attempt to travel from England to Mongolia at his own
expense. You donate direct to the charity. Even a couple of
pounds will be greatly appreciated.
