The Garden (journal)

The Garden (journal)

"The Garden" is the monthly journal of the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), circulated to all the society's members as a benefit of membership. The magazine has gone under this title since 1975, before which it had been (since 1866) "The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society". The title "The Garden" was chosen to commemorate the famous magazine first published by William Robinson in 1871.

Contributors

Over its long history, most of Britain's most influential gardeners, garden writers and horticulturists have contributed articles to "The Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society", later entitled "The Garden". In recent years, Christopher Lloyd was a frequent contributor (until his death in January 2006), and the noted plantsman Roy Lancaster has a regular column. Hugh Johnson, the magazine's Editorial Consultant for many years, contributed a monthly column, "Tradescant's Diary", from 1975 until December 2006.

Format and design

From its relaunch in 1975 as "The Garden" until December 1987 the publication was roughly A5 in size; in 1988 the dimensions were increased slightly; in 1992 the format was radically altered to the current page size of 213mm 275mm, slightly wider than A4. The magazine's layout has undergone several major "refreshes" and redesigns, most recently in 1995, 2000, and 2007.
