A New Yr and a New Title

…and to start out it off I wish to offer you two bits of vital information concerning 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 2023. The Belief has lately launched new tips for his or her digital content material and they’re presently auditing all their sources to ensure all the things aligns with this. 

Since there are actually practically 600 posts and effectively over 1,000,000 phrases and 20,000+ photographs its not a fast job, so to keep away from the necessity to take down the posts whereas they’re audited we’ve determined quickly take away the affiliation with the Gardens Belief and rename it

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 could have to examine your unsolicited mail and replace your e-mail contact listing to maintain receiving your Saturday morning breakfast studying.   Searches for earlier posts must be redirected to the brand new handle.  Please let me know when you’ve got any issues with the changeover or wish to get in contact about anything.  

My new contact e-mail will likely be

I’ll after all proceed to help and promote what the Gardens Belief does, and likewise they’ll proceed to help and promote the weblog throughout this time too.   

When you’d like to assist velocity up the method, the Gardens Belief is presently looking for new volunteers to assist with auditing and updating materials on the weblog. When you’d be enthusiastic about serving to to do that (we will present all obligatory coaching and help) please get in contact with frankie.taylor@thegardenstrust.org.

The opposite bit of reports is that I’ve been writing all of it singlehanded.  I believed the change of title and URL can be a very good alternative to ask others to write down the occasional put up and provide a special viewpoint.  I’m open to virtually any garden-related topic, though I like the weird and off-beat as a lot as the intense, and a lightweight contact fairly than something too dense and heavy. When you’d wish to have a go at writing a put up [although I obviously can’t promise publication] then the fundamental necessities are fairly easy:  round 2,000-2500 phrases and a very good variety of acceptable photographs. I’ll do the structure/technical stuff however all the things should be effectively referenced with hyperlinks supplied wherever obligatory, and  cautious consideration should be  paid to credit and copyright particularly of photographs.   I’d be joyful to debate concepts with anybody . 

There will likely be no different adjustments and the weblog will stay as informative [I hope] and undoubtedly as quirky as it’s now, and nonetheless will arrive each Saturday morning in time for studying over breakfast.Thanks in your help – please hold studying and spreading the phrase!
