Are the big gardening magazines worth the money?

writes: For either, when a plant is identified, I find it is not something carried in the local nurseries where I live. try mailorder Do you all think they are worth it? Not many mags are worth the price today,( Why I remember when a mag cost............).But I do enjoy many of them . With a tall glass of iced tea or a cold Sierra Nevada Summerfest, and a comfy seat on the patio, it's fun to look and dream. And nice to see many kinds of plants, even though I don't have room any more for most, or they wouldn't like this climate. I enjoy seeing what other peope in other parts of the country are planting in their gardens. New trends in plants, etc. Anyone else get annoyed that the featured gardens always show some wealthy couple lounging around in pricey furniture, next to their outdoor shower, which is being fed by their faux waterfall, etc.. Now Heidi, we must be tolerant, the poor dears can't help it if they're wealthy! No, I like to see those, too. I usually can find some little thing they have done, that's kind of quirky or fun, that I can adapt in my own little frugal way. I too like Pacific Horticuture for a more professional, botanical view. But it's only quarterly, wish it were published more often. Birds and Blooms always has more "grass roots" type gardens, done by the owners. The plant ID is not always the best, relying on common names a lot, and some of the gardens are not quite my style. But it's nice to see what people can do own their own. Emilie NorCal Heidi |
