Good for you. Congratulations. Now you can afford that summer home you always wanted!

Oh! Do you know of one in Buffalo that costs about 25 cents? LOL –s

Congrats ! Been a subscriber for 25 years (ever loyal since my first publication credit). May you continue the long line of excellent editors, keeping the content relevant and authoritative.

I hope I see more of your incredible photos in Hort! It’s exciting to be a part of something so old and new at the same time!–s

Dear Susan, you so deserve a place on the Horticulture staff-congratulations! Your work, and your writing never fails to interest me. Horticulture Magazine will be all the better for your contribution. Though I agree with Susan Harris and Pam/Digging that there is plenty going on in design in the midsection of this country, what you have to offer that is important is your particular point of view. I look forward to seeing more on that. Deborah

I agree with you, Pam and Susan. I also think great design is universal and that with a bit of imagination and creativity there are appropriate interpretations for almost every region. Thanks so much for your praise. It made my day!–s

Congrats to you both! I think you’ll be a great addition to the magazine.

And like Susan Harris suggested, please don’t forget about the other states, growing regions, and different design perspectives between the two coasts. We like to hear about what’s going on in our regions too and so often get left out of Coast-focused gardening magazines.

I think that our ‘discussions’ will apply to lots of regions. I know I’m really sensitive to regionalism in design and hope that the ideas transfer…time will tell.–s

This can only elevate the contents of Horticulture.
I might actually pick up an issue now.
Congrats to both of you.
Looking forward to some innovative perspectives from both coasts.

Hopefully we’ll make your trip to the newstand worth it!–s

Congrats…that’s such an honor (deserved, to be sure). I love Horticulture and have been reading it for years. It’s good they are continuing to evolve (their recent re-design was a nice freshening-up). Can’t wait to see your future contributions!
