PLEASE NOTE: In the autumn of 1995, we hatched the idea for a free, local gardening publication. The following spring, we published the first issue of Michigan Gardener magazine. Advertisers, readers, and distribution sites embraced our vision. Thus began an exciting journey of helping our local gardening community grow and prosper.
After 27 years, nearly 200 issues published, and millions of copies printed, we have decided it is time to end the publication of our Print Magazine and E-Newsletter.
We will continue to update our Website with articles and enter current gardening events in our website Event Calendar. All the best wishes for 2024 and beyond.

I have a fairly small garden and would like some ideas of small to medium size shrubs that have good winter characteristics.
A few shrubs for winter interest include dogwoods that have either a red or yellow bark; ninebark, which has a peeling bark that adds winter interest; and burning bush that has a really coarse, corky bark. Another plant you may consider is a Harry Lauder’s walking stick (Corylus ‘Contorta’), as it adds a lot of winter interest due to its contorted and twisted shape.
