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.

Michigan DNR marks Arbor Day with events throughout state

  •   Leave a Comment

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources has planned a full schedule of Arbor Day programs throughout the state on April 26-27. Guests are invited to join state park and visitor center staff for family-friendly outdoor programs that celebrate the many benefits of trees. Visitors can:

  • Discover some of Michigan’s biggest trees growing in some of the state’s grandest parks
  • Cut out a tree cookie
  • Take home a seedling to plant in the backyard.

Anyone who’s ever wondered what kinds of bugs are bad for Michigan’s trees (and how they got here) or how to identify one kind of tree from another will get the chance to learn all of this and much more at various DNR programs around the state. Details are available on the DNR website.
