What do you get when you combine the power of horticulture industry experts from some of the top business-to-business publications with the interactivity and creativity of digital technology with a garden-style approach to living life? It’s a revolutionary new magazine.
GIE Media launched its first ever consumer publication last month, A Garden Life. You may be asking what, exactly, is this magazine and how it’s relevant to you, so come explore this exciting new magazine with us.
A Garden Life is a groundbreaking new e-zine geared for consumers with a lifestyle focused on life as a garden.
“This digital magazine will explore passions that create the ‘garden mix’ of experiences that make up our existence,” says Heather Tunstall, managing editor, in her introductory column. “Because life is like a garden; it is constantly changing and growing, and made up of a variety of flavors, colors, textures, and purposes. If we allow them to, each of these elements can feed our spirits and enrich our lives.”
Each issue will bring readers inspiring stories, gardening ideas, healthy recipes, personal journeys and adventures, and exciting new plants and products. It aims to take readers to destinations that touch their hearts and inspire them in life.
“Our goal is for A Garden Life to be a source of self-discovery, and to spark a personal interest and stimulate renewed energy towards your life passions,” Tunstall wrote.
But it’s not just a lifestyle magazine. What makes A Garden Life so unique is its interactive capabilities built into the layout, which will also help you as growers. For instance, on a page that shows suggested plants for a garden layout, readers can select a certain plant and it will link to garden centers in their area that carry that specific product. If a reader needs assistance in a certain area, the magazine’s functionalities will also link that person to local sources for help in finding a solution. This helps drive local business at garden centers near you and promote buying plants, which will help boost your business as a grower.
This exciting new magazine is being promoted at garden centers across the country. You can download the A Garden Life app in the iTunes app store at no cost. Check it out. Explore. Embrace life as a garden. And pass it on to your friends and family members to read as well. When it comes down to it, we can all use more garden influence to create a calming, more peaceful life in today’s hectic, hurried world.
