Green fingers or not, a magazine worth reading

Advantages: Packed full of information and helpful advice; suitable for amateurs and professionals
Disadvantages: Price - although each issue contains over 150 pages

I had seen Gardeners' World in newsagents many times, but always glanced past it thinking it would be nothing more than information about how to grow potatoes, mending wheelbarrow wheels, and Latin names galore. But no. What you find is an extensive, colourful, and informative collection of just about everything – enough to spur anyone to get stuck into his or her garden and mingling amongst the cornflowers. I recently received a free copy through ...
...each issue make the magazine more of a book, with something for everyone. At £3.20, it is a little pricey, but most magazines are similarly priced nowadays. It is possible to get it cheaper by subscribing – currently by direct debit; this will cost £27.90 for 12 of the monthly-published issues (approximately £2.33 per issue). Subscribing is advantageous, giving you exclusive discounts, competitions, and a subscriber privilege card (gives you 10% ...

The Gardener's Bible

Advantages: Full of useful hints and tips
Disadvantages: Quite expensive for a magazine

Gardener's World Magazine I love gardening. In fact, of all the things I love, gardening is right up there with toasted bagels, sunny days down the park, my boyfriend's smile and rainbows. Gardener's World Magazine has travelled the journey to gardening love I have been on all my life, and it's been such a great source of information and inspiration that I felt compelled really to write about it here. There are other magazines out there for gardening ...
...quantity of good information and advise, the most amazing colour photography, with some of the images being, in my opinion, frame worthy, as well as reader offers on plants and a whole directory on gardens to visit and shops to purchase your gardening stock at. It is just jam packed full of everything that could possibly be useful for either a hopeful or a more experienced gardener. Perhaps the thing I like best about this magazine is the tone of ...

Do you want Green Fingers?

Advantages: Lots of great ideas, lovely pictures, helpful advice
Disadvantages: Not a good idea if you dont like gardening!

...World, a magazine from the BBC and linked to the well known gardening programme on BBC 2 (and yes I do now watch that as well!). The Cost ======== It costs £2.95 and for this you get a magazine packed full of features and gardening tips and advice. The magazine is bright and glossy and in the November issue has 146 pages, so there's plenty to keep you occupied. I am lucky enough now to get the magazine on subscription as a birthday present from ...
...issues at a cost of £35.40, for this price it will be delivered to your door and you will also receive a free pair of loppers worth £21.49. If you don't want any loppers you can receive the 12 issues for a reduced price of £29.50. My advice is buy a few issues and see if you like it, if you do and want to get it regularly then it is certainly worth getting a subscription. The Features =========== The main headings in the magazine tend to be the ...

How do your pansies grow

Advantages: Wide range of articles, great photos, lots of offers
Disadvantages: Lots of adverts, quality photos make your garden look dull

...the well-known ‘characters’ from the BBC Gardening shows, not just Gardeners’ World. The men will be happy with lovely Rachael de Thame, whilst some women (not me) will be happy with Tommy Walsh (can anyone explain his appeal to me?) To give you an idea of a typical issue, I will describe the March 2003 edition in more detail.  Garden News – guide to the latest news in gardening  Your letters – letters and photos about readers’ gardens.  Tomorrow’s ...
...are a fan of the BBC garden celebrities, BBC Gardener’s World Live show is at the NEC Birmingham on 11-15 June 2003.

Review of BBC Gardeners World Magazine

The best selling gardening mag in Britain

Advantages: great pictures and a lot of pages
Disadvantages: not enough info and advice

...with the same name. The BBC capitalised on the brand name and brought out this glossy monthly publication which currently costs £2.50 per month . For that you get around 180 pages or so on average . The current April issue has 186. The mag contains many features written by the BBC gardening experts . Top of the tree is Ilkley lad and programme presenter Alan Titchmarsh. In this issue he writes about the Spring spectacle . He also has a regular amusing ...
...contribute regularly to the magazine are ; Pippa Greenwood , Chris Beardshaw and Joe Swift . Additionally Roy Lancaster , Anne Swithenbank and Nigel Colburn also contribute they present TV programmes on gardening for a multitude of different channels between them . They are of course very well known in they're own right . It is interesting that the Beeb allows what might be termed rival presenters to write for them , although all the name I've mentioned ...

Not just for old farts

Advantages: Full of information
Disadvantages: None

Gardening is often seen as an old farts hobby as gardeners are portrayed on TV as old men with flat caps and bad teeth. However this magazine can appeal to a wide range of people and takes gardening into the future. It has some lovely coloured pictures and great articles. Often one species is concentrated on and many members of it shown in glorious colour with lots of information to help you make the right choice for your garden. Gardening design ...
...we can make the right habitat and grow the best plants for all the little furry and feathered things that come into the garden. It shows the plants that could be in flower in certain months and the jobs (yuk) that should be done during that month. There are offers on plants and free adult places into gardens round the country. All this and an amusing article from Alan Titchmarsh, what more can a girl ask for. ...

Substancial Info and Celebrity Gardeners

Advantages: Glossy, packed with info, nice photos
Disadvantages: none really

...magazine is one of the BBC publications, and as such is therefore of high quality. The issue I have is very thick (much thicker than some of the other gardening mags), very glossy and full to bursting with gardening advice, loge (3 page) feature articles, lovely photos, and of course many bits, bobs and articles from the BBC Gardening team. They're all here, Alan, Charlie and that other one :-) There's also a question and answer section from 'garderers ...
...on the radio. People ask questions and a team of experts aswer their queries. What was nice too was the free seeds on the front cover of the magazine. Very useful ... though if we don't get moved soon it's going to be too late to use them. Thumbs up. ...

Review of BBC Gardeners World Magazine

A Gardener's World?

Advantages: Beautiful Photography
Disadvantages: Too much Titchmarsh/Dimmock!

BBC Gardener's World has taken over from the venerable Amateur Gardening as the best selling gardening magazine in the UK (as it screams from the cover). This is a pity, as AG is less fussy, contains more "real world" advice for working gardeners and, at £1.10, costs less than half of the price of GW. Why recommend it? Under Adam Pasco's editorship, the photography in many issues has to be seen to be believed - Issue 115 (Sept. 2000) feature on ...
...appearing so frequently in this BBC publication, which is a shame, as it reduces the amount of space dedicated to working, non-celebrity, gardeners. In a straight fight, if money was an issue, then Amatuer Gardening would win every time. However, the fact that GW can call upon BBC resources to produce the magazine, makes it a quality buy if you can afford the subscription price of £24 for 12 issues. Or, like me, you can dig deep (forgive the pun) ...

Advantages: Informative
Disadvantages: none

...to pick up along the way. Gardening celebrities are around, not only from the BBC but from all tv gardening programes.
