Hey Garden Family,
If we haven’t crossed paths out by the beds yet, I’m Josh. I’ve been a member of the garden club since 2024 and have spent the last year helping out behind the scenes as your webmaster. Moving forward, I’m also stepping up to take care of our email newsletter.
A little about me: I’ve been getting my hands dirty at home since 2014, which mostly means I’ve killed plenty of plants over the years and learned a few good lessons along the way. Fall is hands-down my favorite growing season—nothing beats harvesting a huge bowl of crisp leafy greens right outside the door. That said, I’m also a big fan of spicy food and love growing hot peppers to cook up homemade hot sauces that pack some serious heat.
What I’m Working On
My main focus across both the website and our emails is simple: make everybody’s life easier.
Here is what you’ll see moving forward:
- Easier Event Tracking: A clear calendar on the site so you always know when meetings, workshops, and workdays are happening.
- Simpler Sign-Ups: Streamlined forms so new members and volunteers can jump right in without any hassle.
- Garden Photo Submissions: A simple way to upload photos you’ve snapped around the garden so we can showcase what’s growing across everyone’s plots.
- Fresh Newsletter Updates: Straightforward, readable updates delivered straight to your inbox without the clutter.
Let’s Chat at the Next Workday
Since this newsletter style is brand new, I would love to hear what you think! Next time we’re out for a garden workday, come track me down and say hi. Tell me what you think of the new email format, share what you’re planting for the fall, or come swap hot sauce recipes.
See you out in the dirt,
Josh Thomas
