Gardening magazine, which one?

[cushioncovers]

Hi there does anyone have a recommendation for a yearly subscription of a gardening magazine that I can get for my father. He's been gardening all his life so is not a novice gardener. Thanks.

If there's any chance he's near one of the RHS gardens I'd recomment an RHS membership because the magazine is good and being able to drop in to a garden throughout the year is great.

Second the RHS suggestion, I think the magazine is good. I get gardeners world which is great for free things but it is a bit ‘entry level’ in terms of content. I used to be a member of garden organic and liked the magazine that came with that, but it is only quarterly

Thank you

Another saying RHS membership. As well as magazine, it gives free access to RHS gardens and to a few “partner gardens”, cheap seeds of unusual plants from RHS gardens, various advice channels not open to membership.

I knew someone bought the Which? Gardening magazine subscription for their dad. They loved it as it gives them research on products and advice on gardening as well. I used to read it in the library when it used to be stocked years ago.

Hello Cushioncovers,

I highly recommend your father checks out Garden News magazine

I was avid reader of the RHS The Garden magazine however and very unfortunate it had a redesign in 2017 with left it with a much reduced content including articles and advice in an attempt it appears to reduce costs.

I now read Garden News out every week it is packed with articles, advice and news stories written by prominent figures in the horticulture industry including a former editor of The Garden magazine, Carol Klein and Dr Stefan Buczacki among many others. Each weak the magazine covers a garden that is open under the National Gardens Scheme very inspiring!

Garden News can be obtained from supermarkets such as Waitrose and WH Smith’s your father wants to check it out.

Theirs is only one problem I find with the magazine is getting it all read before the next issue arrives in the post.

Even as a professional in the industry each week I learn something new from Garden News.

Well worth subscribing to

Happy gardening
