Title: Re: Favorite magazines?
Hold on a moment... it's not my magazine! The magazine is created and edited by the excellent Tom Cooper, formerly editor of Horticulture - I just write for it occasionally. Credit where it's due.

Here's a run down of the current issue, which has a design theme - you're right, they should put more details on the website. I'll suggest it to Tom.

Thirty six pages, six times a year, no ads, illustrated with colour artworks throughout. The main features the current issue are are:

Seed starting Notebook
A Taste for Beets (Wayne Winterrowd)
Shapes make a Garden (Christopher Lloyd)
Hands-on Design (Anna Pavord)
Balance and Mass (Stephen Anderton)
Making a Mixed Border (Fergus Garrett) including two fold-out pages with a complete planting plan for the new 300ft border at WFF.
Pruning an Overgrown Fruit Tree (Lee Reich)
First Flowers (Graham Stuart Thomas)
Pearls of Late Winter (Dan Hinckley) - snowdrops
Life Under Glass (John Emmanuel)

There are also various departments, full page paintings etc...

I don't think the magazine is available on the newsstands at all, subscription only. But well worth the subscription. After The Garden, this would be my choice for best magazine. Although, it has to be said, there quite a few Brits writing for it...!

And thank you for the kind words about my books. Two more due this year...



Hello Graham Rice,

Can't comment on your magazine but did have a look at WFF (I live nearby-been
there) page and offer.

WFF has a penchant for hiring Brits.  I always met charming accents on
visits.  The WFF page does not mention the number of pages, sample tables of
contents and other authors.  It is pricey so there ought to be a few of these
incidentals included.

I can say however, that I own two of your books.  It occurred to me that
Graham could be Nicholls or Rice or......

You have the seed starter with Christopher Lloyd, a good book which shows
that you must also be a very patient man.

And there is Graham Rice on "Hardy Perennials" with a chapter on Hosta worth
buying the book.  One can become mentally disturbed over hosta so I thought
this chapter truly a balance.

Is your magazine on the stands?  Can you get us a free article on that page
or a free issue to have a look?  That can't be too bad, did not Chris just
tell us that there are about 400 on this list.  Oh well, a thought on a
dreary day.
