I still pine for Garden Design magazine to make a comeback. But it had a very specific audience. One that was not your beginner gardener but rather had more experience and was interested in design and ideas. I question the need for more beginner gardening books/articles when we have so much on the internet these days. Yet beginner gardeners are so darn important for our future, gardening being the gateway drug to caring about our ecosystems, etc. ;-) I personally liked American Roots. No matter the cost of a landscape I can almost always get an idea or two out of reading about them and looking at the eye candy. But nothing beats seeing a garden in person. That’s why I try to go on a garden tour, like The Fling, every year. Plus it’s nice to hang with my kind of people.
