The RHS site is at http://www.rhs.org.uk and articles from The Garden
magazine are at http://www.rhs.org.uk/Publics/journ1.asp. They usually only
put two or three of the articles up every month, which is a shame... mainly
copyright problems, I think. But this month there's an article by Roger
Grounds on making a grass garden which should interest people on this list.

>> Amateur Gardening is a full colour topical weekly magazine featuring
>> gardening news, show reports, how-to features, jobs for the week,
>> inspirational features, small ads and so on. In recent years it has been
>> competing more effectively with the long established market leader in
>> British gardening weeklies, Garden News.
>>
>> I would say that Amateur Gardening is of very limited interest outside
>> Britain. By contrast New Eden (http://www.neweden,co.uk), Gardens
>> Illustrated and English Garden have more appeal to American readers.
>>
>> The subscription price seems expensive but it's worth noting that while US
>> magazines seem to have high cover prices with deep discounts for
>> subscribers, in Britain it is more usual for the news-stand price to be
>> more modest and for the subscribers' discount to be much less - or possibly
>> non-existent; and about half the quoted airmail subscription price for
>> Amateur Gardening magazine is postage.
