I like the questions and answers, and the ideas people have come up with. But I mostly like it because of the timely articles, and they always seemed to cover my planting problems and needs. It's a magazine I'll never quit taking. |
Positive | DonnaMack (69 reviews) | On Nov 5, 2005, DonnaMack Elgin, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: I have subscribed to Garden Gate since February of 1998, when the very first issue covered, amongst other things, moon gardens, types of thalictrum, hibiscus and garden tools, all of which were of great help with installing my first garden when I moved into a single family home later that YEAR. I never miss an issue, and have extended my subscription to 2008. The absence of advertising gives this publication the ability to be totally objective. Unlike several far more expensive magazines, GG avoids the trendiness that makes other publications useless. GG also does something VERY unusual. They feature new plants each year, but also go back to them a year later and review their actual performance. There is less emphasis on the very expensive gardens of the wealthy, for whom cost is no object, which are often designed by professionals, and are often overwhelming in cost and scale, and more emphasis on incorporating ornamental trees, grasses, bulbs, roses, annuals and perennials into a personal design. With articles on soil, pruning, disease and critter control, and just about every aspect of actually planting and maintaining a yard, it’s my favorite gardening publication by far. |

I just received my first issue from the company and got a back issue from e-bay. Wow! No ads to interrupt my reading! I can't wait for the next of many issues to reach my home. Two thumbs up Garden Gate!! |
Positive | PrairieGirlZ5 (1 review) | On Sep 26, 2005, PrairieGirlZ5 Thornton, IL wrote: I have been a subscriber for several years, and have given three special friends gift subscriptions. I wish this magazine came every month! The feature I love best is the garden plans: they include plant names (common and latin), no. of plants to use in the design, cold(USDA)/heat(AHS) zones, mature height/width of plant, additional comments and a complete list of alternatives, sometimes more than one! Comments are descriptive and often include helpful info.on maintenance; the design also includes both a layout plan and a 3-D rendering! Their articles always provide both the common and botanical names of plants, one little feature that 'spoils' you. This magazine inspired me to return to school for a degree in horticulture!! |
Positive | chunx (35 reviews) | On Aug 30, 2005, chunx San Diego, CA wrote: A few weeks ago, I received one of their free preview issues to check out. I was very impressed, so I ordered the magazine. I figured the preview issue would be a lot better than what I would receive regularly, but I just received my first subscription issue last week. I was wrong! This is a very informative magazine and had a lot of topics that pertained to my area and my tastes. Keep in mind that I've purchased a couple of million gardening magazines and books which mostly ended up in the trash. |
Positive | maggiemoo (1 review) | On Feb 26, 2005, maggiemoo Conroe, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: One of the things I like best about this magazine is that they offer heat zone info as well as hardiness zones (it's usually the heat that kills plants in south TX), and they always offer alternantive plant selections. Their reader's tips are always helpful, and I agree with others that my only wish is that this would come every month instead of every two months! |

Positive | rutholive (10 reviews) | On Aug 19, 2003, rutholive Tonasket, WA (Zone 5a) wrote: Very readable magazine. I especially like their Tips & Techniques, From the Test Garden, and also What's New. I live in a small rural area and depend on magazines for much of my info and shopping. Also have very good pertinent articles. |
