The Indigenous Gardener - November 2016

In this issue

We have put together a gallery of design ideas to help our readers get to grips with what they’d like to create in their backyards. The idea is to provide a creative scrapbook to help you conceptualise what you want, and provide a launching pad for next year’s creations. So, we offer bushveld, wildflower grassland, textured combos, Cape groundcovers, and shady ideas. We do hope they will whet your appetite for next year’s reads.
Jenny is passionate about designing green corridors for safe wildlife movement and foraging and talks about one newly planted. I’m almost sure the birds are keeping an eye out for the first fruits.
Emmarie continues her gardening journal – it is now summer in her Highveld grassy meadow, and the landscape looks outstanding. And, Aristea ecklonii, one of the most beautiful wildflowers found through much of the country is in spectacular form right now.

The Indigenous Gardener Magazine Description:

We are launching our exciting magazine app in April/ May 2016 and will also change production from 8 issues to 12 issues per year. The Indigenous Gardener digital magazine contains exclusive gardening content, the only gardening magazine in South Africa to feature only indigenous South African flora. We cover a diverse mix of topics, from garden landscape design and individual plant information to issues that face all of today’s gardeners - that of sustainable design in which we focus on water use, soil protection, plant choices, habitat and biome design and, of course, wildlife gardening - for we share our space with all of our magnificent local fauna and need to design in such a way as to create sanctuaries for all species. This is without doubt a magazine for the thinking gardener including as we do through provoking articles that all homeowner's, as citizens of the world, should be aware of and encouraged to implement.
