The English Garden is a glossy, inspirational magazine for everyone who loves beautiful gardens. Our readers understand that gardening is a year round pursuit that requires time and patience. Plus, they share a common goal – an impressive garden that speaks of elegance and style. To this end they invest in their gardens for the long term, favouring quality brands and products.

Our readers • 80% female • Affluence: AB1 • Median age: 40 - 65

At the very core of The English Garden is high quality coverage and exclusive photography of exceptional gardens, in both town and country. These may be classic or contemporary, but always with an emphasis on the ‘English style’ of gardening – a noted point of difference from our competitors.

Reader profile UK consumers spend around £5 billion a year on products and plants for their gardens.

Our readers are discerning and affluent, and live in both town and country. They are avid gardeners with experience and knowledge, who invest in their garden for the longterm. Many are parents of older children or are retired professionals who now have time to create their dream garden.

Our readers seek advice on gardens and plants, confident that what we tell them is relevant. Each issue contains informative plant features, practical advice and interviews with the designers and gardeners creating new trends in the gardening world.

The English Garden abroad Our North American readers are anglophiles keen to transfer the English style of gardening to their own gardens. They are predominantly based on the east coast of the USA and Canada and the Pacific Northwest and have a high disposable income as well as an eye for design and craftsmanship.

Content is evergreen, seasonal or themed. Our garden features are relaxed affairs and readers are encouraged to sit back and enjoy the unfolding story and photographs. We provide both inspiration and attractive practical information, and our tone is welcoming and inclusive. We share the positive aspects of gardening, placing an emphasis on the achievements and not the problems.
