Welcome to STS unforgiven.
If you're looking to start an ethnobotanical garden this is a great place to start. Everyone here is willing to help out beginners even if you have nothing to return the favor with yet. One of the many awesome aspects of STS. I actually haven't seen anyone here make a post about growing hops. That would be awesome if you started some. Be sure to share your method with us if you do!
Anyways, to gain full membership all you have to do is contribute in some small way (add pictures to the plant/seed galleries, post useful information, share your garden with a grow log, ect...) If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Thanks for joining!
