At Mequoda Publishing Network we are excited to announce the February issue of GreenPrints. At GreenPrints, our goal is to bask in the camaraderie of the world’s most unique gardening club, dedicated to joy, helping others, and finding daily happiness. Included in this issue, some stories are accompanied by audio recordings. What a treat! In addition to reading these stories for yourself, you can listen to the audio recordings while working in the garden, while driving in your car, or on-the-go anywhere.
The feature story in this issue is “Tucky”—your heart will be warmed when you read about this outside neighborhood cat … and how one family embraced and cared for Tucky. What a heartwarming story!
And the GreenPrints Magazine February 2024 issue has other stories for you—more content to touch your soul, lift your spirits, and make you laugh!
