Featured in Good Housekeeping: Gardening Collection 2026 Magazine
Absolutely delighted to share that we have been featured in Good Housekeeping’s Gardening Collection 2026 Magazine!
In the dynamic landscape of home and lifestyle publishing, few brands command the same level of trust and prestige as Good Housekeeping. For generations, it has served as a reliable source of expert advice, practical ideas and thoughtfully curated content for everyday living. Its longstanding promise of being “tried, tested, and trusted” continues to shape every issue and special edition it releases.
Among its most anticipated annual releases is the Gardening Collection, a special edition that celebrates the art, science and joy of gardening. The Gardening Collection 2026 stands as a testament to this legacy, offering readers an experience into the world of plants, outdoor design and sustainable living.
When I first started planting seeds back in 2018 with Clayton I never dreamed this passion for nurturing plants, creating eco friendly spaces and sharing sustainable gardening tips would grow into something so rewarding, that would lead to a successful gardening blog, writing columns for gardening magazines and even a series of children’s books and weekly record book inspired by our days in the garden.
A huge thank you to the Good Housekeeping team for highlighting stories that celebrate creativity, community, and the joy of growing.

A Prestigious Annual Tradition
The Good Housekeeping Gardening Collection is not just another seasonal magazine, it is a yearly highlight for gardening enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. Published as a special edition, it brings together expert advice, curated trends and in depth features that go beyond the scope of a regular monthly issue.
Unlike standard editions, which cover a broad range of lifestyle topics, from recipes to fashion and consumer advice the Gardening Collection focuses exclusively on horticulture and outdoor living. This makes it a highly anticipated publication for both amateur gardeners and seasoned professionals.
What Makes the 2026 Edition Special?
Each year the Gardening Collection reflects current trends and priorities within the gardening world. In 2026, there is a strong emphasis on sustainability, biodiversity and wellbeing themes that align with broader movements in horticulture and environmental awareness.
Gardening is no longer just about aesthetics, it is increasingly seen as a way to support wildlife, improve mental health and contribute to a healthier ecosystem. The Gardening Collection captures this shift beautifully, offering:
- Practical guides to eco-friendly gardening
- Advice on attracting pollinators and supporting wildlife
- Ideas for small-space and urban gardening
- Seasonal planting calendars and expert tips
It’s not just about what to grow, but how to grow in a way that benefits both people and the planet.


Beyond Trends: A Lasting Resource
While many publications focus on fleeting trends, the Gardening Collection is designed to be a keepsake, a resource readers return to throughout the year. Its content is structured around seasons, ensuring relevance from early Spring planting to Autumn maintenance and Winter preparation.
This timeless quality is part of what makes the magazine so prestigious. It doesn’t just reflect the gardening world, it becomes a practical companion within it. The enduring appeal of Good Housekeeping lies in this balance between inspiration and usability. Whether it’s a detailed planting guide or a feature on transforming outdoor spaces, the advice is always grounded in real life application.


Being featured in the Good Housekeeping Gardening Collection 2026 represents both a prestigious recognition and a meaningful opportunity. It connects us with one of the most trusted names in publishing, while providing a platform to share our story and raise wider awareness of gardening’s therapeutic benefits, highlighting its powerful role in supporting wellbeing and mental health, while positioning them at the forefront of modern gardening culture.
