This issue is all about plants. Dana Johnson breaks down everything you need to know about gardening in the Northwoods. In Along the Shore, Anne Graybeal introduces us to Alisa Berns, owner of Taproot Landscaping in Grand Marais. Naomi Yaeger takes us across the border with Rooted in Healing, a small Thunder Bay herbal business owned by Gwen McCrone. In our Creative Space column, Rae Poynter interviews rosemaler and painter Tara Austin, whose work is rooted in nature.
Of course, not everything in the issue revolves around the theme. In fact, Kalli Hawkins provides us with an Along the Shore story on the Anderson family in Grand Marais and their creative vacation tradition. Erin Altemus writes a feature story on how beavers build a more resilient ecosystem. There’s more to unpack, but we won’t give it all away. In between reading stories, be sure to welcome back spring, again.
