Fine Gardening
Fine Gardening is a magazine for gardeners of all skill levels that was first published in 1988. It covers the fundamentals of garden design and offers guidance from horticulture specialists and landscape specialists. Edible gardens are less of a priority than aesthetic plants and house landscaping. It is a bimonthly journal from the Taunton Press in the US that only allows advertising for gardening-related products. The company's main office is in Newtown, Connecticut. The majority of Fine Gardening articles focus on design, techniques, flora, or garden structure and are how-to or instructional in nature. They are also extensively illustrated.
The fact that the articles in Fine Gardening are written in the first person and are based on the authors' own experiences as home gardeners, horticulturists, and professional landscapers sets it apart from other gardening magazines. Both seasoned gardeners and novices will value Fine Gardening for its gardening guidance, solutions, and inspiration. From planning to planting to pruning, there are sections for each. Experienced gardeners and Fine Gardening readers offer tried-and-true advice from their own experiences, and stunning color photographs both inspire and serve as an illustration.
In order to create the ideal garden, choose the best plants, prepare the soil, and make the entire thing into a masterpiece, readers can read articles and how-to pieces from gardening professionals. Also, users are encouraged to share their own knowledge by adding it to the sections devoted to tips and tricks. This allows home gardeners to share what they know about tools, pest control, grass care, and other subjects. Fine Gardening also offers regionally specific information. Professional ideas and local reader comments assist home gardeners in selecting the best plants for their climate zone and teaching them how to care for and cultivate them.
