Happy New Year to my faithful subscribers! May 2026 be one of your best gardening years ever! The focus of this post is to share my recent interview with Francis Van de Vogt who lives in Poland and is found on LinkedIn at Enlightened Leadership. In spite of one more round of some tech challenges I am here posting our recent interview, recorded right before Christmas, in which I introduce Francis to some of the tenets of my book Plant Whatever Brings You Joy: Blessed Wisdom from the Garden. I was delighted to be able to offer him an inside look at the evolution of my writing the book and also to give him a peek at what it’s been like adapting to gardening at 5K feet in the high desert of New Mexico. Please excuse the glitches! Sometimes wisdom is offered in a less than perfect form and still hits its mark! I hope you will enjoy!

Love and gardening blessings in the new year,
Kathryn XOXO
