The revamp sees a raft of changes to both content and design.
There will be more practical information than ever, but still delivered in a friendly style to help readers get the best from their garden. Each issue will be packed with advice on growing flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables with more extensive tools and products information.
The first issue also sees the introduction of a new kitchen garden section, making growing fruit and vegetables straightforward, and a new tea break puzzles page.
Comprising a refreshing new colour scheme, smarter fonts and new light, bright page layouts that are easy to follow, Amateur Gardening will also look better than ever, says publishers IPC.
Editor Tim Rumball says: “Amateur Gardening has been completely revamped to improve the practical content and give the magazine a cleaner look which is modern, attractive and simple to follow. I’m certain readers will find the new look Amateur Gardening a breath of fresh air.”
Publisher Hazel Eccles says: “The gardening market is in growth, with sales in garden centres up in 2009, and bucking the high street trends during the recession. So with all this positivity it’s a chance for us to start this spring with a new take on Amateur Gardening. The editorial team has worked hard to produce this improved magazine and, backed with an extensive marketing promotional schedule, we’re confident readers will love it.”
The new look issue is on sale now with a special promotional price of £1.40 (normally £1.90).
