Homes & Gardens

Advantages: Individual magazine, gorgeous photos, more for the designer
Disadvantages: none

...This is the sister title to 'Inspirations' the gorgeous home style magazine, and inspiring it definitely is. Like the regular Inspirations, Garden Inspirations is *completely* different from every other gardening title on the news stands. Although you have features and articles on all aspects of gardening, the emphasis is on garden *design*. Therefore if you have eclectic tastes or like your garden to be completely individual, this magazine is right down your street. There are always lots of projects and really individual looks to copy - looks you would never get in, say, Gardeners World or Garden Answers. The phopography here is sumptuous, the writing absolutely top class. If you are more a designer than a gardener, then definitely pick up a copy.

When they flowered it looked extremely attractive. I would recommend this to anybody that wanted to brighten up their garden and subsequently their garden arch. This would also look nice if it was grown on a piece of trellis to liven up a fence panel.... Read review
