It seems impossible, but Michelle Maga has written the “High Country Gardener” column in The Mountain Enterprise for a full decade.

Unbelievable but true, she has delivered four to five warm, funny, insightful and informative columns in advance every month for 10 years. What a pleasure to work with her!

If you would like to write a thank-you note, telling how her words and guidance have helped you, please do.

We have deeply appreciated seeing these beautiful mountains through her eyes, and sharing her excitement with the changes of each season.

Please join us in our effort to tell Michelle good-bye, as she moves forward into new adventures with granchildren and travel.

Please send a good-bye note, subject line: “Gardener” to Editor@MountainEnterprise.com for sharing with Michelle and her readers. —PH
