THE NEWSLETTER FOR TEXANS WHO WANT TO MAKE PLACE THEIR PRACTICE 🌄

Texas Field Notes is for anyone who wants to connect more deeply to the land, culture, and future of Texas.

Whether you’re getting your hands dirty in the garden or just starting to notice the plants and people shaping this place—I'm here to help you look closer, live wiser, and grow something lasting.

I’m Cory Ames. Every week, I send out one field note—drawn from the garden, the trail, or a good conversation. Sometimes it’s a plant I'm obsessed with sometimes just a quote that won’t leave me alone. Always, it’s a moment that helped me know Texas a little better.

“Every state needs their own Cory Ames to highlight the native plants of their areas. Our society would benefit greatly from it.” - Jonathan L.

Texas Field Notes🌱

A short dispatch for a wiser, wilder Texas—every Friday.

Each email includes:

• A fresh video or film from the week

• A practical native-plant or land stewardship tip

• A quote, idea, or reflection to carry with you

Quick to read. Easy to act on. Grown from the same desk-to-trail workflow that powers my essays, garden tours, and short films.

Subscribe for free, and I’ll see you in the inbox.
