Is there room on the shelf for yet another gardening magazine? If it’s one that offers sound local advice, information, garden features and plant trends then the answer is an enthusiastic “Yes”! The premier issue of WISCONSIN GARDENING shows it to be a great source of information from a fresh local perspective. The January/February issue includes articles on:

• Unusual tomatoes
• Wisconsin invasive species
• Wisconsin’s historic trees
• Creating a 4-season garden
• New 2012 plant introductions
• Regional gardening reports for each area of the state
• Comprehensive calendar of upcoming Wisconsin gardening events
• Photo essay featuring the garden of Chuck Steele, president of the Southeast Wisconsin Hosta Society
• A subscriber’s discount card that offers discounts at local nurseries (including 10% off regularly priced plants at Monches Farm, with presentation of the membership card)
• Excellent local advice from experts* addressing your gardening questions (including an effective recipe to discourage rabbit browsing supplied by Ed Lyon of Allen Centennial Gardens in Madison)

*we were honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the “Ask the Experts” column of this premier issue!

You can find the magazine at your local bookstore or newsstand as well as online at www.wisconsingardeningmag.com

We will also be offering the magazine for sale at The Farm when we reopen in the spring.
