About Garden & Nature

There's a particular kind of freedom that only comes when the highway unspools ahead of you, the radio finds a good song, and the next town is just a dot on the map. Roadside diners, hand-painted billboards, and the slow drift of mile markers are the true landmarks of the American road trip. Whether you're crossing the plains on old Route 66 or winding through mountain switchbacks, the open road has always promised that the best part of the journey is the journey itself.
