Earth Garden

EDITOR

OUR 200TH . AND OUR LAST

Dear Readers,

Keith and Irene Smith started Earth Garden in 1972, and published it quarterly til my first issue emerged in 1987. Six months before my first issue of Earth Garden Irene said to me:“Earth Garden will take over your life. But in a nice way.”

Such true words. Earth Garden has been like my ‘baby’, which is pretty ironic for a bloke with five beautiful children. I do hope none of them feels neglected or resentful of all the decades I’ve spent trying my hardest to harness the lessons I read in to inject maximum ‘quality’ into what we have produced all these years.
