The Plot Newsletter

Dear Reader,

Happy New Year!

With the start of the new year, we return first to what is important in 2026. What is important to you in the coming year? If you’re reading this, then being a good steward of the environment is probably high on the list. Today’s newsletter is a short one, because I want to use it to connect with you. I know I sound needy, but it’s important to me. Please reply to this email and answer this question. It will come to my personal inbox.

What is your garden resolution for 2026?

Let me know if there is any way that I can help you achieve your goal this year. Next week we will be back to our regular feature articles.

Written for 400 resolute gardeners. 💌
