Oakleaf Green Hits Newsstands Nationwide in Fine Gardening

Posted July 31, 2009 by Andrew

That’s right, folks, Oakleaf Green and I make our national print debut in the October issue of Fine Gardening magazine, which actually hits newsstands right about now. My former journalism professors, English teachers, and my mother will be so proud! Check your local listings, e.g. Barnes & Noble, Borders, or similar.

Tremendous thanks to Associate Editor Michelle Gervais for giving me the opportunity to contribute! My article is a regional report on fall perennials for the Northeast. My perennial picks were all U.S. natives, and three out of the four are drought tolerant as well. (White baneberry is somewhat so once established.)

Fall is perhaps my favorite plant season, and we’re talking about WAY more than leaves here, people. I hope you’ll consider adding some of these fall perennials to your garden — and contacting me to help — AND I hope you’ll support the fine work of the folks at Fine Gardening.

   Well done! I’ll be sure to take a look at it. That’s actually my favorite section of the magazine.

   Thanks so much, Susan! I like that section too — have found some really cool plants in it, even in other regions’ lists.
