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.

Garden Snapshots: Valerie Nava’s Fig tree

  •   1 Comment

Valerie Nava proudly shows off the fig tree she propagated from a cutting and is growing in northern Oakland County, Michigan. She covers it up in the winter and it comes back year after year. According to daughter Catherine, her mom’s motto is, “I never give up.” As a result, Valerie and her green thumb can tell you about many plants and how to grow them.
