Kiwi Gardener

Kiwi Gardener "The magazine for gardeners who like to get their hands dirty!"
New Zealand owned and operated. Kiwi Gardener is a growing resource for all gardeners.

Originally Weekend Gardener, today's monthly magazine offers more than ever before. Features on growing plants (natives, flowers, trees) and edibles (vegetables, fruit, nuts, herbs) are presented as guides to all that can be added to the garden that month. While inspiring feature gardens, community gardens and articles on everyday Kiwi gardeners show us how it's done. Kiwi Gardener connects with green thumbs across the country.

Brrrr! Has winter reached peak coldness where you are yet? Whether you're tucked up by the fire, getting your cosy on and dreaming of spring, or are out there, rosy-cheeked, trowel in hand, embracing the elements, our July issue is loaded with gardening inspiration. We have advice on crops to plant now (yes, there are some!), such as bok choy, celery, spinach and strawberries, or maybe you'd like to sow a speedy crop of microgreens from the warmth of indoors and start sprouting seed potatoes ready for planting next month. We've also got ideas on constructing simple, smart pathways, instructions on creating a pleached hedge, winter-warming leek recipes, eco-minded tips and tricks for reducing plastic use in the garden and recommendations for plants for clay soil. Plus, discover your perfect magnolia match (maybe a yellow magnolia is your destiny!), learn all about the edible and useful native vine kiekie and find out what New Zealand's leading rosarian has been up to at the World Rose Convention in Japan.

It’s time for our annual Bird Photo Competition – and it’s the ideal time of year to snap a shot of your favourite Kiwi bird. Our June issue has all the entry information you need to know to enter to win some fabulous prizes – and perhaps grace a future cover of the magazine! We have plenty more going on in this issue too, including a roundup of this month’s top tasks in the garden, advice on growing garlic and all you need to know for a thriving rhubarb crop. Plus, we have edible landscaping ideas, suggestions for plants for the boggiest corners of the garden, and tips for tending winter fruit. Remember also to look to the skies later this month, when the Matariki star cluster will appear to welcome the Māori New Year. Mānawatia a Matariki!
