Garden Making celebrates the joy of gardening for home gardeners across Canada.

We are the trusted source of comprehensive and clearly presented information and ideas for home gardeners. We provide a respected environment for marketers to connect with gardeners.

The gardening audience

Your advertising will reach experienced as well as neophyte gardeners who enjoy gardening as a satisfying recreation. Increasingly, men and women in their 30s and 40s are eager to learn more about gardening to enhance their personal landscape. At the same time, gardening continues to be a popular activity for Canadians age 50 or older who are spending more time and money on their surroundings.
