As well as doling out tips on your garden, we also have regular features on wildlife, growing your own food and cooking it, trees, the environment, water gardening, birds and more.

We would also love to visit your garden …however humble, grand, scruffy or manicured. Get in touch with us, and one of the team will jump at the chamce for a nose around…
Catherine says:
"I have made loads of mistakes in the garden. Once I dug up a whole bed of irises, thinking it was couch grass.. which I had heard something about. Recently, I almost threw away a pot of twigs which turned out to be the most glorious peony. I have made tentative forays into growing my own produce - last year we did herbs and some tomatoes. Not grand, but a start! I have recently moved house and will be doing some serious designing on the back of an envelope - and digging - before the garden is remotely presentable. I will enjoy learning how to do it, with the help of my own show!"
