I’m glad that Stuart has taken a map approach. I try to identify the bloggers on my blogroll by location. And I always try to identify myself in my comments by location. I wish everyone would do it. You know the old saying, “I know where you’re coming from…” Well it makes all the difference in gardening and garden writing.

fab list, I have a blog rambling about gardening, knitting, the cat, Scotland… and regularly read crafting blogs but set out to find more garden blogs to read – once I found your list I was sorted!

of course I signed up for the map! Thanks for the heads up.

I am trying to recall how I found your blog, but can’t. Probably via a comment you left somewhere. I’m glad I did find it and it is one I check frequently because of your excellent writing and fresh content and perspective.

I’m on Stuart’s map, all alone in central Indiana right now, but I’ll keep checking back!

Kathy – great resource as usual. You really are a treasure when it comes to sharing great resources. Thanks! And yes, I did register as well.

I couldn’t resist adding my site to Stuart’s map too.

I think you have the definitive list though.

Annie – What I meant was, some people found my blog directory first (via a search engine) and only then discovered the blog attached to it.

I bet it won’t take long before Stuart has to make a map only of Texas, to accomodate all the garden blogs clustered there.

It’s good to have all these different resources for finding like-minded (or completely different) garden bloggers. I’ve used your directory many times. Stuart’s new map-based directory is a great addition.

Kathy – the way I found you originally was not through any sort of directory, but through your comments at Zanthan Gardens. [Just in case you keep a spreadsheet on this subject!]

Stuart’s map was irresistible fun – so I also submitted my garden blog. Wouldn’t if be wonderful to see a map of the Earth dotted with people who care about both gardens and writing?
