Home Website Extras Website Extra: A lovely mixed garden

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.

Editor’s Note: The following are bonus photos from a profile of Sally and Jim Jarvey’s garden featured in the June 2021 issue of Michigan Gardener. To read the full story, pick up a copy of Michigan Gardener in stores or see it in our Digital Edition, which you can read for free at MichiganGardener.com.

The shady side yard is filled with hostas, Japanese maples, and ferns.
A clematis-covered, metal arbor leads to the perennial garden.
A perfectly shaped paperbark maple specimen.
Nestled in this mixed border, the blue container remains outside throughout the winter to add color. It sits on a cement base and does not contain any soil—the flowers are planted in plastic pots that are lifted out at the end of the season.
