Creating beautiful gardens is a passion, a way of forging a personal relationship with nature that you then can share with friends and neighbors. But you don’t need a landscape architect—or even a lot of time—to create rewarding outdoor spaces. Real Gardens offers inspiration to create containers, structures and features by reusing old materials in new ways; eco-friendly methods and products; and ideas for borders, shrubs and other landscape features. Pages of inspirational gardens created by real homeowners will provide the needed encouragement to plan your own, real, beautiful garden.

Gardening in containers is more than a trend: It’s a great option for those with small spaces, time constraints or physical limitations. Container Gardens is your go-to source for everything you need to know to grow a healthy, vigorous garden…all in pots. Colorful tropical plants, exotic succulents, an exciting mix of wildflowers, even vegetables can be grown in containers. From how to get started to selecting the best plant combinations to which container to use for which plant, all the answers for the novice and seasoned gardener alike can be found in each issue. Beautiful pictures and easy-to-read plant guides ensure growing success, every time.

Whether you have large landscaped grounds or a small urban lot, a garden decorated with flea market cast-offs, salvaged saves and tag sale treasures surrounds you with an outdoor setting that truly reflects who you are and the way you live. With planning and inspiration, a garden filled with vintage and found items can be as welcoming as any room of your home—and as integral a part of your everyday life. From thrifty diamond-in-the-rough projects to beautifully designed landscapes, we will provide that motivation and the know-how to apply our designs to your own space. The easy, carefree, no-rules approach of gardening with flea market finds will inspire you to make creative outdoor rooms that capture the imagination.
