    I buy almost every magazine related to gardening. I particularly like Garden Design, Garden Gate, Container Gardening, and Sunset. I save all the magazines, and years later go back and reread them. After learning new things all the time, it's like getting a new magazine every time I read them. Things that didn't apply or didn't make sense before can take on a whole new meaning and is suddenly useful.

    I like the gardening section of Southern Living, because it's topical for my area. Usually the other magazines are too far behind my areas weather.

    I just started getting Horticulture Magazine.

    Gee. somewhere in a box I still have about two year's worth of Organic Gardening magazine. That was from a good ten years ago I am sure. Lots of good practical info. Have not looked a at a recent copy in a very long time so I don't know if they are still as good. Hopefully they have not changed TOO much with the times.

    I've always read Sunset Magazine and recently Fine Gardening. Also have been getting Organic Gardening. It's nice to read and re-read. I've clipped many articles and put in a binder.

    I read monthly, Garden Gate magazine and The English Garden which is a British garden magazine and a few other British garden magazines, there are some beautiful gardens in The English Garden magazine the pictures are large and colorful. I just started buying a magazine that is new called Backyard Living, it has alot of info in it, and I like Country Living Gardener, these I read and buy monthly. I also buy most of the Better Homes and Garden Special interest publication magazines, like Perennials, Garden Structures, Garden Ideas & Outdoor Living, Container Gardening etc... when they come out, there is a lot of them I am sure you have seen them at the book stores and grocery stores. The Better Home and Garden Special publications used to put out a yearly magazine on Roses only but they stop doing the Rose magazine.
    I read anything I can about gardening.

    I just tried Backyard Living for the first time. I liked it. It is not entirely about gardening, of course, also some other "outdoor" topics but that is okay.

    I get Backyard Living and Garden Gate, plus picking up any w/ pics I can't resist. Love looking through them. They transport me to a different world. Brandy

    My favorite is Country Gardens magazine. I have every one, and love looking back through them. That is the favorite, but I buy every one that comes out - I have stacks of gardening magazines I cannot bear to toss, also love Southern Living. With Southern Living, I go through old magazines and tear out the gardening articles, recipes and decorating ideas I like and file them in their own folders - easier to store. I keep a gardening magazine in the car, in case I get stuck in traffic or have to wait in drive thru line........so many great ideas and inspiration - keep them by my bed to thumb through at night.

    While there is lots of inspiration here on GW, I do so love to have a magazine to thumb through. According to my landscape designer mother in law, Fine Gardening is the gold standard. She gave me a gift subscribtion and I'll admit that was one of the best gifts she's given me and I have saved every issue for reference.
    This thread reminds me that I would like to look into other gardening magazines. I have never heard of Garden Gate, will check it out-thanks! Dawn

    I've gotten hooked on English Garden and English Home magazines this year, got a subscription to both! Find back issues occasionally on evilBay too.
