How do you get your photography published in a Garden Magazine?
I love gardening and garden photography especially. Right now I’m not in photography program, but I am majoring in Art History.
I was just wondering how I could get into garden photography professionally. I was thinking gardening magazines would be an option, so how could I go about being published? And will majoring in Art History prevent people from looking at my portfolio or resume??

What to name a gardening magazine? D:?
I’m creating a gardening magazine for a project. It is aimed at older people. I have no idea what to name it, I am looking for something that is sensible but catchy. Any suggestions?
GardenersCardiff answers:
The target audience is the most important factor in all media and the marketing of that media! Is there any other, specific or distinctive, information about your magazine? Who, exactly, will advertise in it and who will read it? What makes your magazine different is useful in the naming process.
Is this gardening for food or beauty, organic, natural or ‘whatever-works’? How old is the target audience?
Here are a few generalized attempts.
“From The Earth”
“From The Ground Up”
“Make Like A Tree and GROW” – a punny one. I like puns and, I bet, some older folks do too.
“Known By Its Fruit” from the Bible, Jesus said “…for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matt.12, 33
“The Fertile Mind”
“Cornucopia”
I’ll give you some more if you have any additional info for me or opinions to share.

How do I create a flower garden around a tree? I am a beginner in gardening and planting?
I have an old tree in front of my home. I like to add a flower bed around the tree, but I am new to planting and gardening. Also, my lawn needs a lot of care. Last year my husband tilled part of our lawn and we replanted new grass, but our lawn looks very unhealty with a lot of try, burned like spots. What can I do to have a healthy lawn, and how do I go about creating my flower bed around the tree. I like to put a border around the tree like a small wall maybe. I want the flower bed be higher than the actual lawn. We have mostly clay dirt. Can you give me some advice and/or help. Thanks.

What should I get for my gardening grandfather for Christmas?
I’ve bought for everyone but my grandfather. He’s 82 and loves gardening and water gardening. Usually, I get him a bird feeder (he loves bird watching) or something that has to do with hummingbirds. This year I’m at a loss. I’m a first year teacher on my own and on a very limited budget. Any ideas?
