Amateur Gardening Magazine

2 January 2024

Amateur Gardening is more than a magazine, it is a family of gardening enthusiasts and experts, and everyone is welcome. In this latest issue of Amateur Gardening we aim to bring a smile to your face and offer some hope, with lots of feel-good content and money-saving ideas and inspiration from our growing family of experts and contributors. The ability to make something useful out of what could be termed rubbish is incredibly empowering and priceless in a wider sense. Even if you start in some small way, doing so nurtures the ability to think on ones’ feet, which is important to help us adapt around the increasingly erratic and extreme weather conditions ahead. There is hope and there are solutions when we all work together. In this issue our brilliant experts include Ruth Hayes, Bob Flowerdew, Graham Clarke, Anne Swithinbank, Lucy Chamberlain, Val Bourne, Sue Bradley, Michael Perry, Beth Chatto Gardens, John Negus and new columnists Mike Palmer, Andrew Oldham and Adam Kirtland. We also feature excellent contributions from Sally Morgan, Stephanie Hafferty, Ben Raskin and Becky Searle, plus many more ideas and inspiration besides.
