Gardening Magazine. Here is our favorite! Published six times each year

& Vermont The very best biographies on the people, the places of the northeast,
the plants they grow and the people they meet. Excellent coverage of plants
and gardening products from the region. Editor in Chief and Publisher Paul
J. Tukey continues to entertain his audiences with some of the best coverage
in the industry. He is also the Co-Host and Executive Producer of HGTV's
People, Places and Plants. For his ongoing dedication to the horticultural
industry and the media that help it prosper, Paul has been named 2006 COMMUNICATOR
OF THE YEAR by the American Horticultural Society. Read the magazine, watch
the television series, and you'll see why. Info on the web at
Gardeners don't just garden. Here are three magazines we
enjoy which are also enjoyed by some gardeners we know.
Rug Hooking is published 5 times a year
by Stackpole, Inc. Editorial and subscription information is available at:
rughookingonline.com
or email rughook@paonline.com
Ceramics Monthly avoids publication in July and September but makes up for it
the balance of the time.
It is published by the American Ceramic Society: www.ceramicsmonthly.org
Knitting Magazine comes from the United Kingdom and is one of the very best resources.
If you can figure out a sweater pattern, you clearly can design a garden which
is
probably why knitters and gardeners share mutual interests. This magazine is available
through:

Books:
George has begun submitting some reviews of gardening books to Amazon.com www.amazon.com
He seems to enjoy buying books from Timber Press www.timber-press.com
and then offering his thoughts.
At least he finally figured out how to pronounce “Heuchera” correctly.
If you find a gardening book you like, check the reviews and you might find George’s
comments.
