A New 12 months and a New Title

Blissful New 12 months – and to start out it off I wish to offer you two bits of importnat information in regards to the weblog and its future.

I’ve been writing the weblog since 2013 and for many of that point have been doing so on behalf of the Gardens Belief the place I used to be a trustee till the tip of final yr. The Belief has just lately launched new tips for his or her digital content material and they’re presently auditing all their assets to verify everyhting aligns with this. 

Since there at the moment are practically 600 posts with over one million phrases and 20,000+ photographs it’s not a fast job, so to keep away from the necessity to take down the posts while they’re audited, we ‘ve determined to quickly take away the affiliation with the Gardens Belief and and to rename it thegardenhistory.weblog.

Future posts will come from the brand new weblog handle https://thegardenhistory.weblog.  The plan is that when the audit and replace is accomplished the weblog will then transfer to a everlasting house on the Gardens Belief web site.  You might must test your spam and replace your electronic mail contact checklist to maintain receiving your Saturday morning breakfast studying. Please let me know in case you have any issues with the changeover or wish to get in contact about the rest.  My new contact electronic mail shall be david@thegardenhistoryblog.org.  

I’ll in fact proceed to assist and promote what the Gardens Belief does, and likewise they may proceed to assist and promote the weblog throughout this time too.   

Should you’d like to assist pace up the method, the Gardens Belief is presently trying to find new volunteers to assist with auditing and updating materials on the weblog. Should you’d be keen on serving to to do that (we are able to present all essential coaching and assist) please get in contact with frankie.taylor@thegardenstrust.org.

The opposite bit of stories is that I’ve been writing all of it singlehanded.  I believed the change of title and URL can be an excellent alternative to ask others to put in writing the occasional put up and provide a special viewpoint.  I’m open to almoost any garden-related topic, though I like the bizarre and off-beat as a lot as the intense, and a light-weight contact relatively than something too dense and heavy. Should you’d prefer to have a go at writing a put up [although I obviously can’t promise publication] then the essential necessities are fairly easy:  round 2,000-2500 phrases and an excellent variety of appropraite photographs. I’ll do the structure/technical stuff however everyhting should be nicely referenced with hyperlinks supplied the place acceptable, and  cautious consideration should be  paid to credit and copyright particularly of photographs.   I’d be glad to debate concepts with anybody . 

There shall be no different modifications and the weblog will stay as informative [I hope] and positively as quirky as it’s now, and nonetheless will arrive each Saturday morning in time for studying over breakfast.
