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.

Editor’s Note: The following are bonus photos from a profile of Vivienne and William Young’s garden featured in the June 2020 issue of Michigan Gardener. To read the full story, pick up a copy of Michigan Gardener in stores or see it in our Digital Edition, which you can read for free at MichiganGardener.com.

Found in the barn, this Stroh’s water trough is filled with sedums and a reading gnome—naturally, it is now part of the reading garden.

A beautiful stone arch frames this quaint seating area adjacent to the barn.

An antique stove is covered with pans and drawers full of succulents.

With its green wicker furniture, the gazebo is a relaxing place to pass a lazy afternoon.
