Greenwoman Magazine celebrates garden writing in all its forms: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, commentary, biography, art, and comics

Daring and fun, Greenwoman is for the hip gardener who loves digging into the world of art and environmental thought that underlies gardening.

"The Pot of Basil"-an ancient Italian tale of treachery and eternal love with an herbal twist.

"Tomato Love" and "Dearest Mary"-two sexy poems about love and gardening and other deliciousness.

"A New (Garden Writing Sensation): Greenwoman Magazine Interviews Amanda Thomsen. Amanda talks about her first book and her interesting trajectory into garden writing publishing.

"(Mons) Venus in the Garden"-Sex in the Garden columnist Elisabeth Kinsey explores the feminine aspect of shrubbery, a different kind, if you will, of "bush."
