Cheryl, I think this makes a great new thread--What would the ideal new 
gardening magazine cover?

Personally, I think it would need to balance regional coverage--I don't think 
there's much money to be made with a regional gardening magazine for the 
advanced gardener. 

I'd like to see some personality articles, many genera articles with some 
depth, info about current research project/preliminary results such as the 
trials done at Chicago Botanic. Now should it cover perennials, natives, 
trees, shrubs, the whole nine yards? How should it be broad enough to build a 
good subscriber base yet narrow enough to interest everybody?  I think I'm 
beginning to see why the ideal magazine doesn't exist.
