Looking for Gardens

Do you know of a fabulous garden in Ontario? Why not let us in on the secret. We're always looking for good gardens to feature in Ontario Gardener. Send one or two photos to Shauna Dobbie or mail them to Ontario Gardener, Attention: Shauna Dobbie, 201C – 219 Dufferin Street, Toronto, ON, M6K 3J1

Founded in 2000, Ontario Gardener is the second in the Local Gardener magazine series published by Pegasus Publications Inc.
Ontario Gardener is all about gardening in Canada's largest province in Canada, where conditions range from Zone 2 in the north to Zone 8 in the south. This edition pays special attention to the southern part of the province, Zones 4 to 8. For Ontario, which so often has to share its publications with the rest of the nation, it's a distinct bonus to have a magazine devoted entirely to local conditions, because not only is gardening affected by climate and soil composition, cultural preferences have a lot to do with what is grown, how it is grown and how gardens are designed.Publisher Shauna Dobbie lives in Toronto, but the magazine has a large rural base in its editorial composition, both in terms of the content and because its editorial board consists of gardeners throughout the province.
The publication is four-color, 8 ½ by 11 inches, published six times a year (retail price $5.95), plus a special Beautiful Gardens issue ($8.95). Yearly subscriptions are $29.95.
