Oh Matt Mattus where have you been all my life? I need more Plant Society Magazine!
Hmmm….well, it looks like Matt is just down the road (In Worcester, MA)**- we are literally neighbors!…go figure. For all my lamenting about stuck-in-old-ways-new-englanders with their overused-rhododenron-loving-ways, you can color me surprised to find that the beautiful magazine ‘Plant Society’ is published almost literally in my own backyard. Ok- I eat my words…and I encourage you to check out all four issues (here, here and here) of this great little publication.
** This was originally written in 2010 – Matt and I (Rochelle) have gone on to become regular fixtures in each other’s garden and planty adventures… we might even have a podcast coming someday…. we will keep you posted.
Plant Society Magazine
Matt describes the idea behind Plant Society in his own words:
“It’s for folks who are seriously into plants, but who are finding main-stream gardening magazines too commercial and ordinary”
-Matt Mattus
Are you a plant collector looking for more information? A rare plant enthusiast seeking depth? Maybe you just want to learn more about interesting and curious plants that are rarely covered in commercial magazines, where to buy them, and how to grow them. This is for you.

Matt is the only person I know (besides myself) who has the nerve and chops just to start the magazine we wish existed. Respect.
I remember seeing Matt Mattus exhibit at the Worcester Art Museum years ago – had no idea he was a plant guy!
