WHY IS IT DIFFERENT?
I promise to reward readers with insights into nature and gardens, and my paid supporters with no-holds-barred, exclusive emails filled with my latest gardening thoughts and photos.
Your subscription makes this newsletter truly independent, with no advertisers or biased media owners. I feel it’s the best value garden and wildlife knowledge I can give you, my raw thoughts that month.
The free newsletter is weekly and the main Wild Way newsletter goes out at the start of the month, paid members have access to the archive of back issues online.
Learn with me as I explore this funny, wonderful world and grow following its wild ways.
WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION HELPS SUPPORT
My website, newsletter and online community is 100% independent, I pay for it myself and I’m proud it exists for anyone to learn about gardening and nature, no matter their background.
I add a free gardening article every week or two with an archive of over 514 articles and growing. But because its readership has grown to be read by more people than most gardening magazines, I can no longer afford to run it without your support.
All of the hosting, site maintenance, time and email costs increase with every new reader. I can’t keep it all going without you, so I created this newsletter to give back to every paid supporter.
Your subscription also contributes to my time maintaining our meadow and woodland pasture for wildlife, as well as my independent research and climate campaigning. I couldn’t commit to doing these things without you. All for less than the cost of a new shrub (that I’ll teach you to grow for free from a cutting anyway!)
Thank you for reading, it’s great having you here and I hope you chat you in the comments of posts as a subscriber!
