I’ve been fascinated with seed storage and procurement for a while now, [and] there is a great article on that very subject in here that I really dug. I also really enjoyed the articles entitled ‘Organicize Me’ where a dude goes one month eating and drinking nothing but organic products (prices included), and a personal account of life in the medicinal medical marijuana world (‘Hello, Doobie Tuesday’) that helped this confusingly great idea come to life for me. This is a excellent fi rst issue with a hell of a lot of soul that today, is more important than ever. Order it, read it, live it. —Randy Spaghetti
To be honest, I wasn’t sure I really wanted fi ction in a gardening magazine…but my favorite part in this fi rst issue is the short story A Human Birth by Bruce Hol- land Rogers. I know something is good when I can’t stop thinking about it, when I want to tell all my gardening friends to read it, so here I am saying “read it.” —Diana Capen
I think this magazine will be one of the best gifts 2011 has given humanity and I’m absolutely serious about this. I hope you will check it out. When I did that, I clicked immediately on the subscription button and signed myself up. Now for those of you who know me, you will know this is signifi cant because I have a very strict rule about not purchasing anything over the internet. This was one of my very very few exceptions to that rule, in fact, I think it may be the only exception I’ve made to date in this regards. —Tammi Hartung
Why is it now rare for people to express passion, unconditional kindness, basic appreciation for the little blessings of life? Apparently, I’m not the only one who feels like this and am thrilled to see the birth of a magazine like Greenwoman Magazine. . . Could this be a sign that there are enough of us left to want to reinvent the world with new OLD values? A world with heart? A world where technology and profi t can exist but aren’t EVERYTHING? . . . I have great hopes for this little magazine. Perhaps it will reinstate the success of magazines. Of quality. Of responsible caring. If there are enough of us, we can make this a better world. One magazine, one article, one plant, one poem, one picture—one person at a time. Are you a part of the revolution? This might even be fun!
