Title: Re: Favorite magazines?
The Garden has not had a name change but has been redesigned and relaunched with the January 2002 issue; the amount of practical features has been increased and the look updated. In my opinion this is the finest gardening magazine in the world. It's not for newcomers to gardening, and, of course, being the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, it has a British bias. But the for the quality of its writing and its authority, combined with accessibility, it cannot be beaten. (Declaration of interest: I write for it three or four times a year!)

In tandem with its relaunch, one of the other RHS magazines, The Plantsman, also has a new look. This is a more serious magazine for the knowledgeable gardener with a botanical slant to his enthusiasm and is well worth the subscription for serious plantspeople.

Other magazines I would highly recommend are Plants, The Hardy Plant, from the Hardy Plant Society in the UK (and of special interest in this list), The Kitchen Garden (also British) and Pacific Horticulture is also splendid.

My favorite gardening magazine, bar none, is the monthly publication of the Royal Horticultural Society.  It was titled The Garden, but I think it's about to have a name change.  You can join up at the RHS web site.

I also get the AHS magazine and it is often quite good.  

Plants I subscribed to for a while, but it built a plant lust that was unquenchable because everything I wanted was raised in the UK and far from being in the US pipeline.

Used to love Fine Gardening, but for some reason I can't quite describe, its articles don't appeal to me as much as they used to. I think they've gone to a lower common denominator.

Horticulture still has many articles of interest to me.

And of course The Daffodil Journal, although because I edit it and am obsessed with daffodils, I am probably quite biased.
