It’s true there are a plethora of gardening ideas to be found through social media, TV shows, and in books at the library. But another source of inspiration can come from browsing the available online magazines through BadgerLink. Learn about new plants, find information on public gardens in Wisconsin and around the country, or get design ideas. Just double check your zone before heading to the garden center or online retailer! Many, but not all, of the magazines are in PDF full-text.
