It would appear you have the "automatically jump to the first unread post in threads" setting as "yes." You can turn that off temporarily, and then send the links so that people won't be put at the end of the thread.
You can access that setting in the "site preferences" area in your profile.

The #new_post would take the other person to the first unread post, and if the person had never read the thread, that would be at the top.

Another option also is to go to the forum (where the list of threads is) and copy and paste the URL from there. That would make a URL that looks like garden.org/thread/go/157819/ which will then honor the user's own preferences (meaning if they have auto skip to new, it'll do that for them when they hit the link).
