Twenty years ago, before the gardening trend started, I adored this magazine. It had a lot of information and beautiful garden designs that were novel to this midwesterner. It would even have pieces on shade gardening, information that wasn't found elsewhere. I learned a lot from it. Then it changed its format to more pretty pictures and less information - not what I wanted. And now it's just too trendy. This magazine and "Fine Gardening" were the only magazine subscriptions I had and were worth the money.
