This free, interactive gardening newsletter is my project to give something back to the gardening community - to repay the hundreds of gardeners who have helped me in my own gardens, my book writing and radio work. Having shut down my nursery to garden and write, I hope you'll join us as we experiment with developing a new form of gardening communication using the internet." Doug Green

Canada's top gardening magazine is online! Each month they present a new "Garden of the Month" complete with photographs, landscape plans, and of course, good writing. They also sponsor a number of forums for Canada's green thumbs including "Garden Plants," "Garden Design & Techniques," and "Garden Pests & Diseases." If all of this inspires you to try out a print copy of the magazine, you can even order it online. Non-natives watch out though there's an extra fee for shipping across the border.
