Do you enjoy reading magazines about home and gardening? I do.
Often with the busyness of life, I don’t have as much time to read magazines as I used to. But, always make time for my favorite subscription, which is Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine.
I enjoy thumbing through the pages that are filled with colorful photographs and articles about beautiful landscapes and lovely home decor with a Southwestern flair.
I must admit that I have been impatiently waiting for the June issue in my mailbox. Day after day, I volunteered to go out to get the mail and several times, would come away with a handful of junk mail and bills and little else.
But, finally, it came.
So, why was I so excited about this particular issue?
Because my first article for Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine was contained within its pages.
Two months ago, I was contacted by one of the editors and was asked if I was interested in writing for them. Of course, I said yes!
I visited a stunning garden and met with the homeowners as well as the architect who helped them create their landscape.
It was a slightly new experience for me as I had to interview the homeowners, their architect, gardener, and builder.
There was so much to see from multiple water features laid with handcrafted Spanish tiles, beds of roses around the pool, a Southwestern Zen garden and an edible garden.
If you have a chance, I highly recommend grabbing a copy so you can see this spectacular outdoor space. There are also several other lovely gardens featured in the magazine as well.
