The Weekly Dirt with Jessica Damiano

Hey, there!

I'm a garden coach, speaker, author, Cornell University Cooperative Extension-trained master gardener and multiple award-winning journalist with more than 15 years’ experience offering expert planting, growing and troubleshooting advice — first to home gardeners in my nationally syndicated Newsday Garden Detective column, and currently as internationally published gardening columnist for the Associated Press.
I also coach gardeners, author books and calendars, and write this newsletter, which was awarded in the Best Newsletter category in the 2021 and 2022 PCLI Society of Professional Journalists annual Media Awards.

When you sign up for The Weekly Dirt, you’ll get timely gardening advice, instruction, news and trends every week, sent straight to your inbox — plus the opportunity to have your questions answered in the Q&A section.
