The premier issue of Garden Making, Canada's newest gardening magazine, mails its first issue to subscribers on Tuesday -- there's a print run of 34,000 copies, including a 16,500 copy newsstand draw which goes on sale in stores on March 1.

Advertising sales are being handled by Katherine Fox, her daughter. And in the background is Beckie's husband, Michael Fox, senior vice-president circulation and development for Rogers Publishing. 

The magazine's art director is Gary Hall, former deputy art director of Maclean's, who has taught editorial design for the past four years at the Ontario College of Art & Design University (OCAD).
