GARDENS ILLUSTRATED

Perhaps one of the best British gardening magazines is Gardens Illustrated. This monthly publication is excellent because it has feature articles on plants; gardening people; garden places to visit; garden design; what to do in your garden this month and ofcourse readers' letters. I don't always purchase this magazine but at least six times a year I do, having been influenced by the content.

What particularly interests me is the magazine's new series looking at successful design solutions for the garden, which begins in the October issue. Andrew Wilson a Surrey based garden designer, teacher and writer explores and explains the thinking and issues behind structural garden elements. Andrew Wilson is the author of two books: The Book of Garden Plans (2004) and most recently Influential Gardeners. Both books are published by Mitchell Beazley.

Also in the October issue is a free offer when you subscribe to Gardens Illustrated. For doing this good deed you will be rewarded with a free RHS Good Parks Guide worth £12.99 (Euro 19). This guide details more than 500 of the UK's free public parks and green spaces. There are also beautiful pictures and colour illustrations of these man-made landscapes. Well worth the money I say!
