"It's 90o out. A hurricane is brewing. I'm a little down-GreenPrints arrives, I am myself again! How can one small, wonderful magazine work better than a pill? I don't know, but it does. Keep up the good work!"
Constance McDonald
Centereach, NY
"Of all the magazines I receive in the mail, yours is the only one I pick up immediately and read from cover to cover. Excellent, different, heart-warming, sparkling with humor, and grounded in universal truth."

Jane Watson
Novi, MI

Jane Barnard
South Egremont, MA
"I was absolutely stunned. I have never enjoyed a magazine more!"
Joan Ader
Nine Mile Falls, WA
"My garden is in some ways my best friend; my garden magazines are my second best friend. I subscribe to several and most of them are read cover to cover on the day they come in the mail. Yours, however, is a pleasure I postpone. On those cold, snowy days in January and February here in Michigan, I'll pull them out and read only one or two articles a day, trying to get them to pull me through the worst of the weather."
Thomas Hoving
Grand Rapids, MI
"GreenPrints is my favorite bedside reading. Sometimes I can't stop after just one article and finish the whole magazine in one evening. No sleeping, but lots of fun!"
Marjorie M. Mahan
Hamilton, MA
"A delightful makes-me-feel happy magazine. If I could subscribe to only one gardening magazine, this would be it!"
Marie Wing
Camilles, NY
"I gave your magazine to my dad last Father's Day. One of our last conversations before he died was about how tickled he was with GreenPrints. He read constantly, but was hard to buy for. I was thrilled that I had hit on the perfect gift for this man who loved growing things."
Pamela J. Felster
Leawood, KS
"Your magazine is a garden for the eyes. . . It seems like an old friend coming to call."
Wendy Belaski
Clarks Summit, PA

Patsy Bell Hobson
Liberty, MO
"It makes my blood pressure drop."
Pat Lamb
Landsdale, PA
"At last, someone cares."
Susan Brown
Coral Gables, FL
"Just as I was beginning to think that GreenPrints needed some serious stuff to balance its garden fun and wit, I discovered the pathos and heart of 'Mandyberries' by Jan Donaldson. It got to me in a place few garden stories ever touch."
Gaines Steer
Chapel Hill, NC
"The pages bloom."
Marianne Binetti
Syndicated Columnist, WA
"The GREATEST reading for gardeners that has ever been-or ever will be-published!"

"Our staff's favorite magazine!"
Kent Whealy, Director
The Seed Savers Exchange
"I read a lot of nonfiction, and used to think that it took a lot of esoteric words, witty analogies, and sneaky puns to get a reader's attention and acclaim. You stand out by the shear force of your humanity. Your writing and editing are consistent in their cathartic joie de vivre-like a naked ape doing somersaults!"
Ray Stewart
Amherst, OH
"I just received my first issue of GreenPrints and I wasn't even completely through with it before I decided I needed each and every back issue! Your magazine is superlative, and a refreshing change from the "yuppie gardening digests" which crowd the news racks. It is definitely a real publication for real gardeners I'm delighted to have found it!"
Debi Lionetti
Stamford, CT
"I first got your flyer two years ago. I kept it in my studio that whole time, because I was rather leary that GreenPrints could be as good as all those customer quotes said it was. I finally sent it in and, yes, I was really impressed. But that day I stumbled in my driveway, nose stuck in your mag--then I knew that I was hooked! I stood right there in the driveway laughing, realizing that I, too, had become one of those readers who couldn't wait to see what treasures a new GreenPrints held!"
Jane Ecclestone
Cedar, MI
"A hyacinth for the soul."
Donna Reichmuth
Eden Prairie, MN
Those were some pretty special quotes, weren't they? I’ve got lots more! (There're as few more below--tee, hee!) Thousands of gardeners all across the country cherish GreenPrints. You will, too!
"I was so touched when you started this little magazine 20 years ago because I thought everyone had forgotten what gardening is really about. But you remembered, and you kept reminding us all. Keep growing, Pat!"
Marianne Binetti
Enumclaw, WA
"In a world of text messages and their maddening truncation of English, it is so reassuring to know that the business of writing has a home in GreenPrints. Prose (poems, even!)—what a conceptin this day and age. Congrats, Pat, on enriching the garden world each and every issue."
Bill Aldrich
Chicago, IL
"Last spring I lost my dad. He suffered a great deal. I had an even greater need than usual to fling myself into the garden to try to find some peace. GreenPrints also helped, because I had a huge stack of back issues to reread. The many stories that deal with how we can find healing in our gardens helped me tremendously. Thank you for helping me be a better, stronger person. GreenPrints is a seed, always bringing beauty to my life."
Mamie B. Rock
New London, CT
"How could I ever do without my GreenPrints? Back in 2000 when I first discovered this treasure, I believed every magazine had to instruct rather than nourish. Now I read each issue with abandon, as if I were biting into a tomato fresh from the garden and allowing the juice to run down my fingers."
Julie Bogguss
Charlotte, NC
"GreenPrints has been an important part of my life for almost 20 years. The inspiring, wonderful stories helped me cope through some tough years. It is a joy."
Marie Wing
Camillus, NY
"This is my 20th anniversary with your magazine! Yours is the only publication I have subscribed to for that long (and I will continue to do so).
The first few years, I read each new issue in one sitting. Now I savor a few stories a night, like a box of assorted chocolates.
Only, unlike with a box of candy, I can read each issue over and over—even years later!"
Carolyn Barkow
San Diego, CA
