Your Favourite Gardening Magazines

13 comments


Every Goyer must have their favourite Magazine?

I used to buy lots of different mags, some very pricey.and very upmarket.

My Favourites are “Amateur Gardening” and "Gardening News.

They are both reasonable, Weekly Magazines, full of Information given by
Top leading Gardeners, also lots of Gardening Tips and Problems solved
pages. Also lots of Information of places to visit, to browse and look at
lovely Gardens, even giving Dates and best times to go.
I especially love looking at attempted beautiful gardens loved and nurtured
by ordinary people like us. These people show us into there Gardens and
tell us what soil they have, what plants they love, and how they started and
finished their Gardens, with dedication!!

I came across these Magazines, bought them and never regretted it since.
I look forward to reading them each week, with a nice cup of tea, and a
chocolate biscuit. I recommend you do the same, you wont regret it!!

I must correct myself in calling the “Garden News” a Magazine it is
a Newspaper, you will find it with all the Gardening magazines.
So tell us about your favourite Magazines?

I agree with all you said including the chocolate biscuit!
Best of all are the free seeds which come on occasions with Amateur Gardening, I have grown loads and given them away to friends and neighbours!

My favourite is Garden News....well I have to say that really as I am a regular contributor....lol....but it is an excellent publication packed full of excellent information. I always enjoy Carol Klein's articles.. As regards monthly "glossies" you can't beat Garden Answers...its always a good read.

Well being over here the cost of British gardening mags is very expensive. I like to look at them in the shop but don't often buy them. For West Coast Canada gardening mags my favourites are 'Gardens West' and 'GardenWise'. The latter is mostly geared towards the milder coastal area but is still full of information and interesting gardens. The former puts out 2 different editions (soon to be 4)....one for the coast of BC and the other for the interior of BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Neither mags give away free seeds. :o(

I have AG, as well - in fact, that's where I saw a mention of GOY way back - so you can blame them that I'm here! lol.

I do like Garden Answers, as well - and my 'treat' is a glossy - 'The English Garden'. Very extravagant - but such gorgeous gardens in there! :-)))

reading their Magazines....Bliss!

seems to be quite a favourite with everyone,as well as G.News. It is also
interesting to find out, how many found GOY through Magazines.
