Current issue

March 2023

The March issue of Gardens Illustrated celebrates the burst of colour that early spring brings. Plantsman Mat Reese gives advice on growing flowering quince (Chaeonemeles) and we meet growers with a passion for crocuses and camellias.
In the second of her plant series, Åsa Gregers-Warg, head gardener at Beth Chatto’s Plants & Gardens in Essex, shares her top seasonal stars.
Planting designer James Hitchmough reveals how he created a magical spring flush of colour in his Sheffield garden using a layer of brightly coloured bulbs and self-seeders under the emerging summer-flowering layer – a technique that could be applied in any garden.
And we visit a jewel of a spring garden in a Lancaster suburb that was the result of 30 years of collaboration.
We take get a sneak peek at some of master plantsman Piet Oudolf’s most recent projects, with commentary from other leading designers, and get an insight into designer Andy Sturgeon’s transformation of a sloping country garden, including an ingenious and sustainable solution to transforming a vast patio.
We also pay a visit to three innovative projects that fill a horticultural need while giving back to the community.
