Kathy Jentz is Editor, Publisher and Founder of Washington Gardener Magazine. Kathy is a life-long gardener from a family of farmers and dedicated gardeners. Currently, she is President of the Silver Spring Garden Club and on the board of several other clubs and organizations. You can read Kathys work in the Washington Examiner and Washington Woman in addition to regular guest spots on Channel 9, Channel 4 and WAMU radio.

Washington Gardener magazine, the gardening publication published specifically for the local metro area — zones 6-7 — Washington DC and its suburbs. We sent out our premiere issue in March/April 2005 and we are now about to be celebrating our fifth anniversary.

The content of the magazine gives real examples that you can use immediately in your own garden. It will save you time and show you how to stretch your garden resources. It will inspire you with new ideas and new ways of looking at things. With all of that, we don’t forget to include a heavy dose of whimsy, a sense of humor, and a portion of wonder. We have some great stories in the works — from Unique Plant Combinations to Starting a Water Garden to Growing Vegetables in Tight Spaces — we can’t wait to share them with our readers!

If you are a DC area gardener, you’ll love Washington Gardener magazine!

The magazine is written entirely by local area gardeners. They have real-world experience with the same problems you experience in your own gardens. They’ll be sharing their thoughts on what to plant in deep shade, how to cover bare spots, which annuals work best throughout the humid DC summers, and much more.

Re: Part II -- It's Like Road Rage, Only Wetter

Billy - I so feel you on the WaterRage -- I do a silent burn inside every day I walk in my neighborhood, I'm surrounded my a small auto dealer, hotels, grocery stores, a community college, etc. all who think nothing of watering the sidewalk and their turf. Worst of all, IMHO, is the water-before-it-rains jerks. We had rain forecast all weekand and we got it (plus tornado and flashflood warnings) but were the springlers ever turned off? Nope - they went right on cheerily watering before-during-and0after the storms.
