Hi Jo. I paid the subscription on 27th Feb but still have no access to the paid subscriber section. Has there been an issue at your end at all please? Thanks. Rebecca.

Oh I am so excited to dive in here! I just discovered The Gardening Mind today! I’m in Northern Indiana, US and we are counting down the days until the last frost! We’re just coming out of a very hard personal season. My young son recovering from cancer. I’m looking forward to this gardening season like none other. It’s my sanctuary. I’m so excited to have found this community and to get back into my garden!🪴Thank you, Jo! (My son’s name is Jonah. I also call him Jo😄 love a good sign lol)

Hello from a frozen PNW!!

This morning I stumbled across The Gardening Mind but I honestly think it was fate:) You see, I've always loved indoor plants but I've never been too great at keeping outdoor plants thriving. So, you can imagine my joy to have discovered this wealth of gardening knowledge, expertise and love all at my fingertips through this very informative sharing space. Thank you Jo!!

I'm really looking forward to diving in as I begin to learn more from you. xx

A question, off topic, but wondered of anyone else would be interested.

As starting to design gardens for others, I notice how much of it isn’t about designing and plants but about organising too. Budget, contacts, planning, proces. And that for a few projects at the same time.

And now I’m wondering how to organise and make it simpler (or if I’m really up to do that!im not quite the projectplanner...)

How do you manage all that Jo? Are there certain apps or tools you use?

This has really helped me to navigate Substack and much easier on the desk top

Thanks Jo. Super helpful. I thought I was fairly digital literate and then started using Substack and couldn’t keep up with all the notifications and emails etc. I didn’t even realise having joined the Small Gardens group that there was a much bigger group !

Thanks Jo. I too have found Substack a little confusing on first use and I relied on the emails to inform me of when new content was posted and where. I now find it a bit easier to navigate around within the app by myself and the above guide is extremely useful.

This is so helpful, Jo, thank you!

I use an iPad and have been using the app, but find it quite hard to find things, and there has been a lot of going back to your email notifications to re-read a post or look at comments and conversations. All a bit clunky. But going to the website is much better and it’s so much easier to find what I want and see what’s going on! Thank you!
