AUGUST ISSUE AVAILABLE NOW

PETS IN THE GARDEN
If you own a cat or dog, you're probably familiar with your furry friend undoing all your good work in the garden. We show you how to design a garden that they're not as likely to destroy and highlight some features you can add to cater to their needs.

GET READY FOR SPRING
Can't wait for spring to start planting? Even if you don't have a fancy greenhouse, there are plenty of simple ways to grow seeds under cover. We explain the ins and outs of this technique, including how to protect them and how to plant them on.

COUNTRY RETREAT
Have a peek into the delightful Glenrock garden in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. Owner and landscape designer, Carolyn Robinson, shows us around and shares how the garden expanded and what lessons she learnt along the way.

GROWING APRICOTS
Now is a perfect time to plant an apricot tree in your backyard. As long as you choose the right variety and plant it in the right place, you should be rewarded with luscious fruit that has to be tasted to be believed.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
We break down the basic design elements of an award-winning sustainable garden and explain how to apply the principles at your place. The elements highlighted include layout, water efficiency, materials and plant diversity.
