Sixth Blogging Anniversary

Posted on January 28, 2020 by johnvic8

I was pleased to receive a note from WordPress today marking the sixth anniversary of A Walk in the Garden. It’s hard to realize that 602 posts have made it out of my word processor, but here I am looking forward to another year of reaching out to readers around the world.

I am deeply grateful for your continued interest, your comments, and your encouragement.

Having moved to a retirement community some 18 months ago, I am without a garden. But I have my journals, my photo albums (before digital), and my archives on the computer. I just wish I had purchased a digital camera when they first came out. Alas, another regret that I cannot row back upstream.

Armed with the albums and my archives, I will continue the blog, emphasizing lessons learned (both good and bad), dreams of gardens yet unbuilt, and favorite memories of garden visits, friends, and plants. I’m sure I will continue to report on “Things I See Around Town.” I’ll close with one of my favorite photos: a pink tree peony.

    So glad to see the pink tree peony and will be adding it to the list of dream garden plants. Hoping to help design William and Susanna’s garden this year! Lots of love to you!

    Congratulations John! I am sure it must be hard for you no longer having a garden to potter around in, but blogging can keep you connected to other gardeners and I do hope you will continue to share your thoughts and photos with us!

    I think we could all use some garden color, even if it’s memories, about now.
