All About Washington Gardener

Washington Gardener magazine, the gardening publication published specifically for the local metro area — zones 6-7 — Washington DC and its suburbs. We sent out our premiere issue in March/April 2005 and we are now celebrating our first anniversary.

 

The content of the magazine gives real examples that you can use immediately in your own garden. It will save you time and show you how to stretch your garden resources. It will inspire you with new ideas and new ways of looking at things. With all of that, we don’t forget to include a heavy dose of whimsy, a sense of humor, and a portion of wonder. We have some great stories in the works — from Unique Plant Combinations to Starting a Water Garden to Growing Vegetables in Tight Spaces — we can’t wait to share them with our readers!

 

If you are a DC area gardener, you’ll love Washington Gardener magazine!

 

The magazine is written entirely by local area gardeners. They have real-world experience with the same problems you experience in your own gardens. They’ll be sharing their thoughts on what to plant in deep shade, how to cover bare spots, which annuals work best throughout the humid DC summers, and much more.

 

The first issue of the monthly enewsletter came out mid-January 2005 and is free to any interested area gardener. To subscribe to our free monthly enewsletter, click enewsletter on the menu link.

 

The first issue of the print magazine debuted March/April 2005 and it is published six times per year with a cover price of $4.99. We are offering a year’s subscription for $20.00 — that’s a savings of almost 40% off the per issue price. To subscribe to our magazine: Send a check for $20.00 payable to “Washington Gardener” magazine to: Washington Gardener, 826 Philadelphia Ave., Silver Spring, MD 20910 OR to pay via Paypal/credit card click on the subscribe link.
