Welcome from the editor

Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, and there’s no better place to experience it than in your own garden.

Spending time outside among the fresh greenery, newly blooming flowers and chirping birds is a great way to connect with nature and improve your overall well being.

In our spring magazine, we’re talking about how to encourage your children to get involved in all aspects of gardening. From planning a renovation project, planting spring blooms or tending to their very own veggie patch, there’s so much we can do to help nurture a love of gardening in our youngsters.

Elsewhere in the magazine, landscape designer Vanessa Drew gives her advice on planning a garden renovation project. There’s a 10-point checklist of jobs for the garden this spring. And we’re having a nosy around not one, but two beautiful gardens.

Happy reading and even happier gardening!
