November 2024 Issue – out now!

Create a beautiful garden with the November Issue of Garden Answers magazine.

Just where has the year gone? One minute we’re complaining about how wet it was in March, the next we’re on to the November issue of Garden Answers!

But it’s a time when we get to see our gardens in their real, unvarnished – and sometimes most ruggedly beautiful state – most of the flowers are now gone and we’re left with those plants that provide the structure and backbone. In summer, such plants may get overlooked by our colourful annuals, but now they are the last ones standing. Whether it’s the floaty texture of grasses, the spiky defiance of a phormium or the icy bark of a birch tree, these plants are what make our gardens unique. We celebrate
them in our feature starting on page 14.

Another unsung hero in the garden is the humble hedge. They are, in fact, fabulous havens for all sorts of wildlife as well as being some of the most effective pollution-busters we can grow. If you’ve got space to grow one, they are worth every inch.

So while the days are now so much shorter (and cooler), there is still much in the garden to appreciate, and we hope this issue of GA helps you do just that. As ever, we’ve got all of your favourite features packed into one magazine – we hope you enjoy it.
