Hi to all subscribers and contributors, from your editor:
Substack is booming. I have gone there: https://annewareham.substack.com/
And there are some great writers and gardeners there. Try The Gardening Mind by Jo Thompson, for example https://jothompson.substack.com/
She demonstrates how Substack can create a whole community, a garden school, a discussion forum and much plant discussion:
I think it’s possible that such platforms are the future. At least for as long as blogs were, once. Maybe it will be more than that – see https://substack.com/@hamish/p-147007031
As editor of thinkingardens I got tired of editing.
It involved finding contributors, negotiating their post, then editing and illustrating their post, publishing and promoting it. I wanted to make my garden at Veddw and write.
There is wonderful stuff on here. (thinkingardens)
I would love to add some of it to Substack if the authors would give permission.
I believe it’s possible to create a joint site on Substack, where people can add their own stuff. (Must investigate) Would you want to do that? I am not going to go back to editing though……
Hi Anne.
I’m a bit of a, no a lot of, a neanderthal. Don’t really get Substacks. I’m sure it’s a thing… and I’ll be left behind. Good luck with it all.

Hi Sue
I’m not proposing to shut this website down,so you’ll still have access to anything on here.
