New gig with Chicagoland Gardening

I've just signed on to be a Senior Editor at Chicagoland Gardening magazine. That means I'll be consulting, writing some, brainstorming. Not a full-time gig, but I will be in the magazine (in a form still to be brainstormed about) starting in late summer.

For those of you who don't know, Chicagoland Gardening comes out six times a year and is available at bookstores, garden centers and Whole Foods or by subscription ($17.95 a year). Carolyn Ulrich is the editor, Bill Aldrich (ex-Chicago Tribune, like me) is the publisher. I've been a subscriber since they started the magazine more than 10 years ago.

The magazine's web site has a lot of excellent information: Chicago-area garden events, retail sources and public gardens. Give it a look.

Got a garden question? I recommend you call or e-mail the Plant Clinic of The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, the Master Gardeners of the University of Illinois Extension or the Plant Information Service of the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe.
