About the Newspaper

While best known as the newspaper of Silicon Valley, the San Jose Mercury News enjoys the ranking of one of the top ten newspapers in the country by the Columbia Journalism Review and was named the boldest American newspaper by the Society for Newspaper Design.

History

Founded in 1851 as the San Jose Weekly Visitor, the Mercury News has grown into one of the nation's great dailies. Drawing its name from the region's quicksilver mines, the Mercury News covered the evolution of an agricultural community into a global technology center. The newspaper's own evolution includes trailblazing Internet sites, bold editorial initiatives and constant innovations to better meet the changing needs of our readers and advertisers. It's a testimony to the importance of the newspaper and the community that our parent company, Knight Ridder, moved its corporate headquarters to San Jose.

Founded in 1963, the Western Horticultural Society is made up of horticulturists, botanists, landscape designers and architects, nursery people, students and avid gardeners. The monthly programs are designed to appeal to the dedicated plant lover.

The Western Horticultural Society invites you to join their group of plant and gardening enthusiasts.

SummerWinds Nursery is proud to be a Nursery Partner of the Western Horticultural Society. Bring your membership card into any of our South Bay Locations for a 10% discount.
