I'm so proud of the new 2027 Handbook & Planner. From the beautiful cover artwork to the expanded gardening education, there's so much inside to help you grow a better garden.

Before we open pre-order to the public, I wanted to give you the opportunity to receive a complimentary copy when you enroll in The Dallas Garden School for $395/year.

With enrollment, you'll get access to all of our seasonal live classes and replays, our on-demand library of North Texas gardening courses, and our active student community. You'll also get direct garden help from me through our popular Ask Callie feature.

Your planner will help you put what you learn into practice throughout the year. New features for 2027 include:

• A getting-started guide covering garden location, sunlight, and soil preparation.
• Beginner-friendly vegetable and flower lists for cool and warm seasons.
• Step-by-step instructions for sowing seeds, thinning seedlings, and transplanting.
• A practical watering guide tailored to North Texas conditions.
• Updated planting windows informed by research and local growing trials.

Your planner will ship when shipping begins later this month, but you can start exploring the class library today. Then join us for our next live class, Growing Food Indoors from Seed to Harvest, on Thursday, November 13, at 11 a.m.

I'd love to welcome you as a DGS Garden Scholar!
