How to Guarantee High Country Gardens' E-zine Arrival

That annoying advertising email, commonly known as "spam" has become a big problem for all of us. It has reached such proportions that most email services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put at least one stringent blocking or filtering system in place, which all of our email must go through.

The problem is these blocking systems often stop email which you want to receive and read. In fact, you might find you are not getting the High Country Gardens' "Xeriscape Gardening News E-zines".

There is something everyone can do to keep your water-wise gardening information coming.

 

A tip for everyone using any type of email software…
How to Add High Country Gardens to your Contact List:

Step 1 - Open the program in which you use to read your email.

Step 2 - Add High Country Gardens to your email address book to give you a better chance at receiving our monthly e-zine. Our email address is newsletter@highcountrygardens.com.

OTHER PROGRAM Instructions
