What's inside?
What a bonanza of reading we have for you this issue. If you’ve been following Fishermans Bay Garden, Akaroa, New Zealand on Instagram, you’ll know what a gem it is. Sandra’s interview with Jill Simpson gives an insight into this extraordinary garden and how it came together. Jill’s glorious images will whet your appetite. My recent radio interview with Jac Semmler on the release of her mega book, ‘Super Bloom’, inspired us to obtain an extract on taking softwood cuttings. Lots of tips there to grow your own plants. What a fabulous book, every gardener should have a copy!

Regular contributor, Angie Thomas, looks at calamondin and recommends we all grow this versatile citrus. Preparation is everything in gardening and Sandra gives her inside story on planting up pretty pots now for a wonderful spring display. Sandra also shares the latest in growing stone fruit; in time for planting this season. I cover off the Garden Clinic answering your questions; don’t hesitate to send them in, with a photo to share.
