From the editor – March 2026

THERE IS NOTHING NEW under the sun. 

These words, attributed to King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes, probably weren’t written to address this column, but they popped into my head as I sat down to write. What can I say that hasn’t been said before? 

Probably nothing, but March and the spring season it brings remind me that things can be made anew. This month we shed the cold, barren winter and we look toward a warmer time of growth and replenishment. 

So, as you read this month’s articles about gardening to attract birds), reaping the harvests of the gardens you plant and sites to visit to see spring and summer in bloom, take note that plants aren’t the only things that grow this time of year. 

Just like with plants though, make sure you tend to yourself. Warmer days are ahead and growth is on the horizon.
