Meanwhile, our journal is once again packed full of gardening news, tips and inspirations. We love ranging wide to introduce you to people who are mad for plants and gardens. In this issue you’ll meet a nurseryman whose frustration at not being able to find interesting plants for his apartment inspired a massive new product line and some out-there plant-hunting; one of our local rose experts; and two friends living their dream by growing cut flowers in an old walled garden.
Don’t forget that by supporting our Garden Clinic partner network of nurseries and garden centres you’ll receive a 10% discount on plants as indicated.
