Horticulture (1-year)

This is a GREAT magazine for gardeners and plant lovers. If you like to put your hands in to dirt, are interested in people who make plants their life, and believe "low-maintenance garden" is an oxymoron, this is your magazine.

If you are looking for high gloss that showcases the tops in garden design--but don't necessarily want to get dirt under your nails--I'd suggest Garden Design magazine. Somewhere in between I would recommend Fine Gardening.

I have been a subscriber for several years and this magazine gets smaller and smaller. I live in Atlanta an several of the recent issues have had little to no value for the zone 7 gardener.

I was very excited to subscribe to this magazine. I thought, "wow a magazine for a novice like myself". Yet I found it boring and not very helpful. I can find the same information on the web by using a search engine.

Many beautiful photographs and design ideas adorn this classic magazine. The "how-to" articles are useful and timely. Missing, as with most other gardening publication is a focus on native plant materials. It s the native herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees that support the insect, butterfly, mammal and bird populations where you live. Without plants that have something to offer insects, native bird populations will have nothing to find in your landscape; they will see desert and move on.

We have the misconception that a plant unspoiled by a nibbling by insects is a beautiful sight. I say that it is a plant that is making no contribution to the ecosystem. It is merely chosen to quench our thirst for exotic and unique specimens, not intended to survive in the climate where it is planted. Our ecosystem can only thrive when we support it; this too can be a beautiful sight along with a floor show; birds taking up residents, bees cross-pollinating and more.
