Follow our photographer Akemi Matsubuchi as she travels through New Zealand. Writer Jill Fallis visits Marnie Smith, a Vancouver Island gardener who finds bringing art into her garden provides balance between work and pleasure.

Vintage Lois The Biophiles with Jim Hole Pruning With Confidence
Lois Hole has always been a dedicated supporter of the fine arts and in this article she shows us the endless possibilites for artistic creativity in the garden. Jim Hole explores the concept of biophilia, which, in a nutshell, is the innate affiliation that people seek with the natural world. In this how-to article, Hole's staff writer Christina McDonald helps us to not fear pruning. All it takes is a little time to learn the basics.
Behind the Scenes
Lessons Of The Soil A Rose By Another Name Life, Beauty & The Garden
Karina Low helps us learn the craft of gardening. To stray beyond the theoretical in choosing colours, shapes and arrangements. Nestled in this northern desert, the capital city of Iqaluit may not appear to be an ideal gardening environment. Nonetheless, a community garden does exist. Just not a garden a most plant lovers would expect. Susan Scott helps us to see that like life, good gardens and good art reveal themselves slowly with little secrets here and there.
Natural Inspiration Jewels In Our Midst Dreaming of A Starry Night
Scott Messenger visits the famous Burmis Tree. A 600 year old tree that coninues to fascinate and inpire artists. Nature Nut John Acorn helps us to admire at least some of the insects that inhabit our garden, and see them as lovely accents, not as blemishes. Writer Cassie Stocks recreates her favorite Van Gogh painting through colour, texture and form.
