Testing... Testing...

If you’re new here, Hello! I’m new here too. We recently worked with a professional to help update our website and she explained quite a few things to us about websites and how things should be presented and updated (Thanks Alivia). One of the things Alivia encouraged us to do was to write a blog. The last blog post we published was back in March of 2016. That was before I came to Pine Knot so I’ll admit that I don’t know how all this works (or if it does). Since I started at Pine Knot in May of 2016 I’ve been told by customers that they signed up for our newsletter which the website has always had an option for. Since I’ve never known us to publish a newsletter I wasn't sure what folks were signing up for but my guess is that a “newsletter” subscription means you’ll get an email when I publish a “blog” post. This post, as the title suggests, is me testing how all of this works.

That being said, HELP! If you got this post in an email from us I’d love to hear about it. If you saw it linked on Facebook or Instagram let me know with a like or a comment. If I’m completely wrong about “newsletter” and “blog” being the same thing in my website’s eyes I’ll consult my local professional before I post another one of these.

If you’ve made it this far and you’re curious who the “I” and “Me” writing this is; my name is Bryan. I started working with Hellebores at Pine Knot Farms in 2016 and have been the owner since January of 2023. If you’ve been to any of our Annual Hellebore Festivals or Fall Open Houses or purchased plants from us at one of the Botanic Gardens we do sales at; you’ve likely met me. If you aren’t local enough to have seen us in person; I’m hoping that restarting this blog will give you a chance to get to know us.

I have some ideas for future blog posts but I am always open to suggestions. If there’s a Hellebore, nursery, or plant related topic you’d like to read my thoughts on; feel free to reach out.
