Comments (8)I used a woman that I met two years ago and she provided a drawing of my landscape with a plant list. It was very helpful. Her email address for serious inquiries only is: nancyaskin@aceweb.com. She measured my house and my backyard and put in the hardscape that I already had. She really listens and knows how to work with you. Give her a try. Debra...See MoreGardening in the Boston Globe
Comments (24)I suppose we will all confirm our fears and we typically find only what we seek. If you want to belive that gardening is less popular, or that the globe is an average paper- it would be easy to confirm that with investigation. I do think Garden Web is a much better way to get gardening info- That was my main thrust. I guess i am coming from a different angle. I am comparing items, Globe vs other papers. Garden web vs Globe gardening articles. The globe is a great paper (to me) because they have a valid editorial staff and great washington DC office. What I mean is that they still produce indepth, new- news. Not many papers do that any longer. This is the era of Fox News. Ick. I see no evidence that Gardening is on a downward trend. Home depot, Lowes, Walmart, They might change the market, but (again my opinion) that proves that there is a larger market than there used to be. I venture to say that there are more gardeners now than there ever were, they are growing flora that my parents never knew about, and they can find better information in 20 minutes of research online then they could from reading 20 years of Boston Globe Thursday gardening articles. Still- perhaps they are less sophisticated. I live in Franklin, and the town library has wonderful historical films on VHS, and Dahlia's and Rose gardens were pretty well represented in some of the back yard images. those gardens were very impressive. Today is not "better", just "different". I have many 30 yr old friends that garden, they do so for the same reason people did it in the films. Gardening is good for you. It always will be good for you....See MoreSummer Reading List Wanted
Comments (61)I loved Me before you, I read it a year ago and I still think about it. I read From the Kitchen of Half Truths, someone had recommended the kitchen house to me and all I could remember was kitchen and I borrowed the wrong book. Anyhow I really enjoyed it, it was a quirky story and set in England, but I really liked it. My girlfriends and I started a trashy book club, so my current reading choice, I am too embarrassed to share. Lol. I also read The Fault in our Stars, the movie is being released this weekend. This was meant to be for young adult readers, but I must admit I really loved it. Now after reading this thread, I must go update my list on goodreads, I need to read a few substantial books in between my selections from the book club, hehe, to balance my brain a bit. Happy reading everyone!...See MoreAsking for recommendations for architect: NE Boston/Cape Ann
Comments (2)La koala I sent your original link to my son in Boston - I didn't even know he responded! Glad he did, but I wanted to clarify how he got to you, knowing all the spammers that somehow appear on here! Good luck !...See MoreAlisande
