Gardens Illustrated Magazine – March 2026 – Gardens Illustrated Magazine

By the time it gets to March, many of us gardeners are itching to get going and growing, sowing and planting, pruning and mowing. The weather may conspire against us, but there is nowhere we would rather be than out in the elements, invigorated and ready for the burst of energy that comes with spring. So, this issue, we are celebrating all things new as we kick off the growing season. We’ve got new columns and series, such as nurserywoman Rosy Hardy’s top plant picks for the month (page 18) and designer Jack Wallington’s first ‘Final say’ column (page 114).

We are featuring a bevy of new, beautiful gardens to inspire you, from Butter Wakefield’s grand country design (page 54) to Matthew Childs’ small suburban surprise (page 70), and an ambitious city plot by Tony Woods (page 86). Discover the best new plants to grow (page 95) and new gardens to visit this year (page 11) plus new horticultural talent in Daniel Carlson (page 53) and crocus grower David Carver (page 62). There’s also our fresh practical-tasks series from Mounton House where we will be dropping in throughout the year to see what head of gardens Tim Stretton and his team are doing each season (page 30).

An Edwardian garden, lovingly restored by Arne Maynard, it is rarely open to visitors, but you can now book your spot on our special reader event there on 3 June – find out more on page 38. DISCOVER MORE PODCAST Talking Gardens returns for its sixth season on 24 March with new guests including Adam Frost and Luciano Giubbilei.
