Wow. Have we really produced seven editions since Margaret passed us the reins? We’re “those Battersby girls,” sisters Helen and Sarah. Since 2006, we’ve collaborated on the blog Toronto Gardens. (What was Margaret’s inspiration? Read her story here.)

Every year, we try to guess how many copies to print, and every year we sell out faster than expected. Unexpected things – like great reviews from respected garden people (see our Well Reviewed tab) or winning Gold and Silver Medals from GardenComm – take us by surprise.

But, for 2024, we hope we’ve guessed correctly. As always, the Journal will give you the tips and record-keeping tools that fans and soon-to-be fans love, plus 100s of plant and seed sources, and shortcuts to horticultural advice and services.

We look forward to helping you record another year of happy times in your garden!
