Your Guide to Gardening & Outdoor Living

May 12, 2025

Warm temperatures in northern Michigan this week have many readers thinking about getting outdoors. This week's Northern Express, sister publicaton of The Ticker, has your guide to making the most of it - whether it's tips for planting a pollinator garden, a story on Inhabitect bringing green infrastructure and ecological landscaping to the region, or a how-to overview of backyard composting. This week's issue also has a feature on par-three golf courses to play this summer, a look back at 15 years of TC Roller Derby, and a story on Harper's Ridge Farm on Old Mission Peninsula.

The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
