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.

Website Extra: The Rubinstein garden

August 30, 2018 • Leave a Comment

Editor’s Note: The following are bonus photos from a profile of Beth and Richard Rubinstein’s garden featured in the September/October 2018 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 lawn is framed by a mixed border of perennials, grasses, and shrubs, designed by Beth Rubinstein.

A weeping Norway spruce accents the landscape at the beginning of the stream. Beth collects frog statuary and this frog couple at stream’s edge is enjoying the soothing sounds as they relax on a bench.

The stream is still running in late fall.

A new 10,000-gallon pond is being built for some new fish, which will be arriving from Hawaii.
