Home Clippings In Memoriam: Fred Case

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.

In Memoriam: Fred Case

January 27, 2011   •   

The gardening world mourns the loss of Fred Case, a teacher, botanist, and true plantsman. Case passed away on Wednesday, January 12, 2011. He and his wife Roberta authored three books, including “Trilliums,” and many articles for magazines and scientific publications about native orchids, trilliums, insectivorous plants, wildflowers and gardening.

A full obituary can be found here.
