Default Are the big gardening magazines worth the money?

We don't get that one in the eastern US, for obvious reasons.

Both Horticulture and American Horticulturist have gone downhill in recent
years. What a shame that is. As was said previously, most of the other ones
you see over-the-counter have little to do with plants and are just excuses
for off-topic advertisements.

I look them over but have rarely felt the urge to buy them. It seems that
none of the "big names" in the study of plants are involved with the
publications any more and all they do is rehash the same old yarns with a
bunch of glossy pictures. What a waste, especially when one considers the
many innovations in the study of plants in recent years. Very little new
info reaches the public. Specialist mags and periodicals have been much
better sources for plant info but they are not sold over-the-counter.


Any you would care to recommend? I do enjoy "Pacific Horticulture."
