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 Jim and Kathy Mikuska’s garden featured in the July/August 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.

**When arriving at the Mikuska home, the first thing you see is this serene view into the woods from the top of the driveway.**

**Jim and Kathy love to collect unique stones for their garden.**

**Most of the garden is a woodland, where Kathy has added ferns, rodgersia, Japanese forest grass, and many more shade-loving plants.**

**Natural stone stairs blend into the landscape.**
