    I Made a Gardening Magazine

    As you might have seen in the masthead carousel, I added a link to a gardening magazine that I made for my gardening society Blomsterodlingensvänner i Finland rf. It has been keeping me busy, so the development of this site has been on the down low. But, it has been fun to do some new things and develop other skills. There are a lot of my pictures and text in the magazine and all the layout and technical solutions are by me, but of course a few other talented speakers, writers and photographers contributed. It was a pleasure to to work with their material. The cover picture, as well as a…

    Garden Glory

    Garden Glory or to be more exact Gloria Garden (in Finnish: Gloria puutarha), the magazine, was published today. The Glory part is that the magazine features 34 pages by me and my colleague and fantastic garden photographer Hanna Marttinen! There is a 10 page story about me and my kitchen garden and 3 other stories about some really interesting gardens and gardeners. I really recommend buying an issue 😉 Tänään ilmestyi upouusi ja hieno Gloria puutarha-lehti. Omasta näkökulmastani on hienoa että lehdessä on minun ja loistavan puutarhavalokuvaajan ja hyvän ystäväni ja työtoverini Hanna Marttisen tuotantoa peräti 34 sivun verran! Lehdessä on 10 sivun juttu keittiöpuutarhastani ja kolme muuta juttua hienoista…

    Garden Style

    I was recently asked to be in the Finnish fashion magazine Gloria, in a feature where different people present their own style.  Naturally a lot of my style, in the way I dress and decorate, has been influenced by my gardening interest. Mostly I’d say in terms of color, but perhaps also in terms of a certain stark simplicity that I appreciate in various objects. Gloria is a very nice magazine so it was an honor to be asked to appear. I think this is a suitable moment to reveal that I’ll also get in to detail about my kitchen garden in a special publication that is called Glorian puutarha…

    Gardens Illustrated has Gone Commercial

    The new cover in the middle, two old quite un-commercial favorites on each side, the one on the right is from before BBC took over.  Gardens Illustrated has Gone Commercial…. But only in comparison to itself. Gardens Illustrated is another one of my absolute favorite gardening magazines besides Garden Design.  Gardens Illustrated started out in gardening a little before me, my first issue seems to be the 1996/1997 December January issue, nr 23. Within a year of reading it I was a subscriber. I took a break at subscribing at some point, actually because I was annoyed at how un-commercial it was at that point. Even though I’m heavily into gardening…

    Garden Design Magazine

    Recent slightly disappointing covers and the new one on the right. I got a bit bewildered surfing the net the other day, I was quite certain I was going to the Garden Design magazines web site but when I got there I had a bit of whoa-moment before I realized I was in the right place, but Garden Design had done themselves a bit of a makeover. I got the actual issue the other day as well and it looks as it isn’t just the surface that has gotten a redesign. I’m a bit on the fence, it’s interesting and its line with certain mega trends that have the most…
