Ring in the New Year with the January/February issue of American Gardener! It’s packed with fresh perspectives, deep horticultural history, and stories that reward a slow read.⁠
⁠
In this issue, wander through an aloe wonderland in California with Saxon Holt, then head to Colorado with Pam Penick to see how a neglected property became a public garden through persistence and community effort.⁠
⁠
This year also marks something bigger. 2026 is America’s 250th anniversary, and we’re marking it with a year-long editorial thread woven throughout the magazine. You’ll spot it by a special anniversary icon featuring goldenrod—a plant with deep horticultural roots and a long, complicated American story.⁠
⁠
Our first anniversary-themed feature follows the remarkable life of eighteenth-century botanist André Michaux. His story spans continents and centuries, and yes, it involves pirates and secret militias.⁠
⁠
Most of all, thank you. This magazine exists because of readers who care deeply about plants, landscapes, and the ideas behind them. We’re glad you’re here, and we’re looking forward to what this year brings 🌱⁠
