I'm a keen gardener and love nothing more than spending a day pottering around maintaining or trying to make the garden look better than ever.
I also like a good read to help me plan my garden layout, choose the plants or crops that I wish to grow and also get tips on how best to grow them.
To help you out, I've listed below the best gardening magazines and books I've come across to help you with your gardening plans.
