Hi Ann=Marie,
I have been getting Garden Gate for the past year, I have really enjoyed it. It is real down to earth and very informative.
I also want to thank you for your information on walls of water on another posting.

Anne-Marie,

I've been getting Garden Gate since its very first issue and I love it. I keep every issue and refer back to them when I need inspiration. As Mulchy says, down to earth. Horticulture is a beautiful magazine but rarely helps me with my tiny suburban garden.

Have been going through the magazine again and really love it. Wish I had had all the info about clematis last year! I'm sold on it, Lilylouise!.. Thanks both for your comments.

I too got the free issue of Garden Gate. I like the no-ads format,the quality of content and quality of paper it's printed on. I believe I'll be subscribing.

I subscribed earlier this year to Garden Gate and have enjoyed every issue that I have gotten. I love the garden layouts! I think you will be very happy with this magazine.

My favorite has been Fine Gardening. I have every issue since the first. The second favorite was Country Living Gardener, but they stopped and will be publishing specialty issues twice a year. I loved the garden writing.

GreenPrints is a garden writing publication, with essays and stories.

I haven't seen Garden Gate in 8 years. It seemed to be a great mag for beginners, though, back then.

I love Garden Gate, while I was disappointed in People Places and Plants. It seemed like PPP was more focused on people, advertising, and their staff than on plants. I will keep getting Garden Gate but haven't renewed People Places and Plants.

Thanks again for all your comments.

I do agree that PPP contains too much advertising, but I like to read about LOCAL gardens and.. gardeners. I like to read through Fine Gardening whenever I can get a free copy, but it is somewhat too 'formal' for me.

I LOVE Garden Gate magazine as well as Birds & Blooms, Birds & Blooms Extra, Backyard Living and PPP. I read People Places & Plants mainly so I can get a head start on new plants for this area, so I like the advertizing aspect of it.
