The research is clear: gardening is good for the mind, soul and fitness levels. Since the pandemic, more and more Australians have turned to the garden as a source of wellbeing and joy. Our mission here at ABC Gardening Australia magazine is to empower home gardeners – experienced and new – to combine that joy with practical solutions.

In each issue, we showcase amazing plant varieties and visit extraordinary gardens. We provide expert advice on planting, nurturing and maintaining plants – ornamental, edible, natives and indoor – and guide our readers through each season in the garden. We talk them through various garden tasks and projects, and explain which tools are needed for every job.

With expertise and top tips from Australia’s leading horticulturists, Gardening Australia is a trusted and reliable voice, offering shovel-loads of encouragement and practical advice for all gardeners, whether they’re gardening on acreage, a balcony or a rooftop. We help nurture a community of passionate, informed readers who are serious about their gardens. We invite you to become part of that community. Enjoy the wonder of gardening with us.
