Volume 1, Number 1 | January, 2006 | Copyright 2005 by Doug Miller, Grass Valley, California

All photos, illustrations and logo designs are by Doug Miller, except the photo of Herschel the Dog, which is by Jack Kohn.

Nevada County Gardening is a totally bogus publication intended only to demonstrate to the Union Newspaper that I am a qualified candidate for the graphic designer position currently being advertised.

(Although who knows, maybe there’s a market for this type of a publication).

Haul your trash in style

Long Nevada County driveways are no match for the Jeffmo TrashMaster.

Sturdy construction; designed to hold two standard trash cans and two recycling bins. Custom sizes and paint schemes available.

Available at finer hardware stores everywhere.

Herschel says

“Meet me at the Dog Bar Dog Bar!”

The meeting place of choice for sophisticated Nevada County canines.
