EnglishHow to Subscribe to Gleanings and Stay Updated with the Gesneriad Society
Updated
You can subscribe to Gleanings through the notification sign-up link on gesneriadsociety.org, which routes to the Society's mailing list hosted by Mailchimp. Beyond that newsletter, the site lists a journal, a shop, and upcoming events as other ways to keep up with Society activity. The steps below cover what to click, what to expect, and where updates also appear.
Subscribing to Gleanings
- Go to gesneriadsociety.org and look for the "Subscribe to Gleanings!" heading on the home page.
- Follow the notification link there. It opens a Mailchimp sign-up form for the Society's mailing list.
- Enter your email address and confirm your subscription. Mailchimp typically sends a confirmation email before adding you to the list, so check your inbox (and spam folder) after signing up.
The form is hosted on Mailchimp, not on the Society's own domain, so the page will look different from the rest of the site. That is expected, not a sign you have left the right place.
What Gleanings Is
Gleanings is the Society's newsletter, distributed through its mailing list. The home page treats it as the main recurring update channel, separate from the journal. If you want periodic news rather than a full publication, this is the list to join.
Other Ways the Site Keeps You Updated
| Channel | What it offers | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Gleanings | Newsletter updates via email | "Subscribe to Gleanings!" on the home page |
| Journal | The Society's publication | "our journal" section |
| Upcoming Events | Judged shows and sales, such as the Heart of America Gesneriad Society event listed for 9:00 am – 2:00 pm | "Upcoming Events" section |
| Shop | Society merchandise and materials | "Shop" section |
If your goal is only occasional news, Gleanings is the lightest option. If you want fuller coverage, the journal and events listings carry information the newsletter may not repeat.
Common Snags
- Confirmation email doesn't arrive. Check spam or promotions folders; Mailchimp confirmations are often filtered.
- You can't find the link. It sits under the "Subscribe to Gleanings!" heading on the home page rather than in a top-level menu.
- You want to stop updates. Mailchimp lists include an unsubscribe link in each email, so you can leave without contacting the Society.
What to Expect After Subscribing
You will receive Gleanings issues and related Society notices by email. Event announcements and journal content remain on the website, so subscribing does not replace checking the Upcoming Events or journal sections if those matter to you.
