Re: [GWL]: The decline of garden writing


So it sounds like what you and Jeff are saying is that nobody reads garden 
stuff because it's "old news." I disagree. Just because veteran garden 
writers have written about it a thousand times before doesn't mean it's "old 
news" to new gardeners. Many people never go beyond the casual gardener 
level and wouldn't be at all interested in plant pathology and such, not 
there isn't a large number of serious gardeners who would find such topics 
fascinating. I still think the answer to the declining market for gardening 
literature is to mount a campaign to educate editors and publishers about 
the numbers and buying power of gardeners.
