Australian Members of the International Cordyline Society will receive a free copy of subTropical Gardening in the mail with their next Cordyline Journal "Ti-Talk", courtesy of the Society in recognition of our 10th Anniversary.

We were pleased to see articles on Cordylines, Bromeliads, Gingers and many other tropical & subtropical species sponsored by the Society.

Our friends Paul Plant (Editor) and the team of dedicated writers are to be commended on producing such a colourful and informative subTropical Gardening magazine.

Helen, congratulation on your article in subTropical Gardening – Gardeners of all skills will appreciate the knowledge provided by qualified Horticulturist.

I’m sure like many of our members, gardeners will subscribe to future editions.

Yes, this magazine is a long overdue and will I am sure be welcomed by tropical gardeners and those living in warm climates, hopefully it can be successful where other publications have failed. Paul has done a wonderful job of producing this magazine along with the authors of the various articles some of whom are members of The International Tropical Foliage and Garden Society Inc.

I would like to see as many people as possible give their support to this first rate publication so that it can cement a future in this competitive field.

P.S. Helen, it was great to catch up down at the Queensland Garden Expo.

As I mentioned in another thread, I have voted with my wallet and subscribed. Issue 1 was a bittersweet experience for me - the content is fantastic, the presentation less so. I have to remind myself that Paul is just starting out, and that his layout and image quality is not dissimilar to the mainstream magazines of 8-10 years ago. Picking up an old copy of 'Better Homes and Gardens' in the doctors surgery yesterday drove this home, and I'm sure that the ability for a mag to emply topline graphic artists and use state-of-the-art publishing software is directly in line with ad revenue. STG will only improve, but I guess we can expect the ratio of ads to editorial content to increase - c'est la vie.

Overall, Paul and his team deserve hearty congratulations for having the guts to give this a go. I hope that gardeners north of the Tweed will all get behind him, even those who persist in trying to grow temperate plants in an equatorial climate :)

Cheers,

Artie
