Letter from the Julia

Dear valued supporter of Unearthed,

Since my husband’s diving accident a month ago (which he has fully recovered from!),
our lives have turned in a truly unexpected new direction!

We are deep in final consideration on a new business venture that would lead us out of Christchurch, and this has led me to have a reality check on what this means for my own work and my commitment to our future life.

This opportunity would be an adventure that requires both of our full attention and this means, that I need to sacrifice an element of my current work to make it happen.

I’ve shed a few tears over this - but for now, Unearthed will need to end its short life in its current subscription-based, regular format.

We haven’t signed on the dotted line yet, but given the timeframes at play, I can’t commit to producing the level of content that I would be proud of, so feel I need to halt your transactions now.

Those of you on annual subscriptions will be refunded your balance at the soonest opportunity. I will be in touch with you on this.
And those that feel they would like their $6.50 refunded for the month of October, please just pop me an email.

I still see an Unearthed in my future as can’t really imagine my life without telling the stories of others. For now please enjoy exploring the rich backlog of features here and I will continue adding new and some from my archive to provide you inspiration and ideas for your gardening adventure.

I am still involved in a very exciting national garden project that may see the light of day later next year, and I deeply hope I will find a new space to transform and continue sharing what I learn.

Nothing changes if nothing changes.

FUN BUT STICKY

JUNE 2023 - Jenny Cooper’s Column

The flamboyance, generosity and subtlety of autumn colour almost calls for reverence. Every day the viburnum leaves stop me in my tracks, with their smokey purple tones. The ornamental grapes are a riot of colour.

It seems rude to interrupt it all with my spade and secateurs.
