Garden Center earns several awards for outstanding content

Garden Center magazine was recently recognized by three press organizations—The Cleveland Press Club, the Turf and Ornamental Communicators Association, and American Society for Business Publication Editors—for outstanding content.

“It’s always a thrill when an outside organization cites our work for awards,” said Yale Youngblood, publisher and editor of Garden Center. “That’s not why we do this, for sure. Still, we are honored that Garden Center as a whole and our designer Karen Angus in particular have been recognized for jobs well done.”
