New quarterly Garden Making magazine to launch in March 2010

March 2010 will see the launch of a new, quarterly Canadian gardening magazine called Garden Making, edited by Beckie Fox, former staffer and then editor (1999 - 2001) of Canadian Gardening magazine. Fox, who gardens enthusiastically herself in Niagara-on-the-Lake, teaches gardening at George Brown College and the Toronto Botanical Gardens.

Here's what she says about the new publication:

We will inspire and inform Canada’s gardeners. If you’re a plant enthusiast who revels in the process of making a garden, you’ll appreciate Garden Making. If you embrace planning, designing, planting, maintaining and renovating your landscape, then you’ll enjoy Garden Making.

When you’re not out in your garden, then Garden Making will show you new and proven methods, techniques, products, plants and ideas to make your garden even more successful and satisfying.

The art director for the magazine is Gary Hall, a well-known name in publication design. Hall played an important role in the redesign of Maclean's in 2001 and was deputy art director for four years. He has taught editorial design for the past four years at the Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCAD).

The magazine is published by Inspiring Media Inc., a private company based in Niagara-on-the-Lake. (Beckie Fox is married to Michael Fox, senior vice-president circulation and development for Rogers Publishing.)

Garden Making's subscription for one year is $19.95, but charter subscribers, ordering before December 31, will get six copies for that price. 

Beckie Fox authored The Potted Garden: Creating a Great Container Garden in 2002.
