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!

Grit magazine is one that our family looks forward to each month. Lots of good articles, nice pictures, garden ideas, small farm, animals and much more.

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.
