PITH and VIGOR Newspaper and Digital Magazine

A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Dear Leaf Fans,
I've just launched an Indiegogo campaign for a new garden publication. This September (with your support) we will release a beautiful newspaper and digital magazine (Called PITH + VIGOR) for those of us who like to get our hands dirty. Learn all about it and subscribe through our indiegogo campaign. Think Leaf but a little grittier, a little quirkier, but just as smart and beautiful - and printed on real paper (that can be shipped right to your home if you subscribe)
We are so excited to share this and hope you will help fund this project -- feel free to ask questions (the best place for that is on the Pith + Vigor FB page) -- Thanks for your support! - Rochelle

PITH + VIGOR is a beautiful full color newspaper and digital magazine that shares the grit & beauty of gardening like no other publication ever has before.

In Cultivating Garden Style, Rochel...
