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.
The Salt Blog at NPR:
Though we hear about them every holiday season in that famous song, chestnuts – whether roasting on an open fire or otherwise – have been noticeably absent from many American tables for decades, thanks to a deadly fungus that decimated the species near half a century ago. But a small army of determined growers have been on a seemingly quixotic quest to put chestnuts back on the American table, and they’re just starting to see results.

We have a problem with deer eating everything we try to grow! What plants can we use in our landscape to deter deer?
jhofley says
Planting a landscape that is “deer-proof” is a tall order as they like to eat a lot of plants varieties. There are some herbs and ornamentals with fragrances that deer do not like. Maybe check with your local garden center to see what varieties work best in your area. You might also consider an organic repellent like Plantskydd which can be very effective in repelling deer for extended periods. Cheers!
