Re: Trash - Birds and Blooms

**W*@aol.com**

You know who loved Birds & Blooms? My 88 yr old grandmother  and now so 
does my 8 yr old niece. I think it is a nice, pleasant read for both  ends of 
the age spectrum. Colorful, big photos. Simple,  straight-forward, short 
text. They get to enjoy all the good parts  of flora and fauna; no articles on 
dealing with clay soil,  beating back the deer, or avoiding pesticides.

If I was say in a dentist waiting area, I'd grab it over more complex  
fare. 

It serves its audience. Don't think it will ever satisfy the die-hard  
gardener, but that is not its purpose.

Sincerely,
Kathy Jentz
