Re: Gardens Illustrated

Hello Barbara,
    Thanks very much. This gardening mag must be quite popular here in the US as well as in England. Received quite a few replies off list as well as on. I appreciate your detailed message on the contents of the mag. Sounds interesting... couple of what I would call "quirks" in the contents you list. I will go to the link your provided and check them out today.

Gene --

I used SavvySearch and found their site. Very nice.
      http://www.gardensillustrated.com/

They list 8 gardens to tour (if I counted right) but 3 are nurseries with
specialties for this time of year (cyclamen, snowdrops and trees/shrubs).

Here's what they say about the February, 2001, issue:
In each issue, you will find eight or nine full length features, each
superbly photographed, introducing you to the most beautiful gardens around
the world. This month, highlights include:

PLANT PROFILE: Eucomis
There are 10 species of eucomis ...

GARDEN HISTORY: Rainbow Fields
The Fens of Lincolnshire around Spalding and Wisbech ...

TRAVEL: Letting the Land Talk
Simon Houghton grew up at Hawley House on the North coast of Tasmania ...

MAKER: Burning Issue
Chris Jefferson makes charcoal in Cumbria using ancient methods...

SPECIALIST: Free-range Plants
In northeastern Holland there is an unusual nursery where the plants are
harvested from a wildflower meadow ...

Hope this helps.  Looks like it may contain wonderful pictures!
