    Default Need recommendation for a magazine subscription (non-quilting)

    I am looking for a good magazine to give to a family member as a Christmas gift. I want something in the area of gardening, small animal care, how to build things (i.e., decks, sheds), home care. I looked at a bookstore recently and found Mother Earth News and thought that might be a good one. Does anyone subscribe to that or have others to recommend?

    Thanks.

    Jill

    A good magazine for gardeners who also love birds is Birds N Blooms. We love it. Have subscribed for years.

    I agree with Joset,
    Mother Earth and Hobby Farms are always an interesting read

    Thanks for your help. I'd never heard of Hobby Farms and so I checked out their website. I think this one is a really good fit for my gift. I knew I could count on fellow quilters to help me!

    We subscribe to Mother Earth News, great magazine for just what you need. Urban Farm is a newer magazine and that's also very good.
