R.I.P. House and Garden Magazine

by Susan Walsh

Sad news folks. House and Garden magazine will cease publication after this month’s issue. The magazine’s website will also be shut down. The magazine started back in 1901-that’s 106 years ago-shut down in 1991 and was brought back to life in 1996.
It joins Jane magazine in the dustbin.

I enjoyed looking through the magazine’s glossy photo layouts and gardening section, but it leaned toward portraying home décor and gardening ideas for the ridiculously rich. Few of us in the working class or middle class could ever hope to afford anything shown in the magazines pages.

Editor Dominique Browning wrote two very interesting and entertaining gardening books, “Around the House and In The Garden: A Memoir of Heartbreak, Healing and Home Improvement” and “Paths of Desire: The Passions of a Suburban Gardener”. If you haven’t read them, I highly recommend you do!
