Come Gardening

This is a unique quarterly magazine for visually impaired gardeners, which has been published by Thrive for over 25 years. You can download a free copy here to see if it is of interest, but please contact us if you’d like this free edition in large print or audio version.

Elisabeth Standen, shown in the photo, is a long-term subscriber to Come Gardening:
 “Come Gardening is the only item of post that is almost invariably read from cover to cover as quickly as I can manage.”

The magazine has regular features on readers’ gardens, their tips, information on flower and food gardens, and details of new plants and equipment that might be of interest to gardeners with low vision.

Elisabeth finds Come Gardening very useful: “What have I enjoyed most about the magazine? Hearing about other readers’ gardens. I have also learnt lots from its pages over the years, and I have also enjoyed writing for our magazine–telling others about my successes and failures.”

The magazine is issued quarterly, January, April, July and October and is available in large print, on audio CD or tape, in Braille, or via email. Subscription to the magazine costs £9 for one format or £11 for two formats.
