Carry Canada’s Local Gardener in your garden centre
Canada’s Local Gardener is a Canadian magazine written for people who actively garden where they live. It focuses on plants, techniques, and seasonal realities gardeners actually face, not generic advice imported from elsewhere.
We work with independent garden centres across the country who want to offer customers a high quality, trusted gardening read at the point of sale.
How it works
Participating garden centres receive 10 copies of each issue when it is published. You pay half the cover price plus shipping for those copies. There are no subscriptions to manage, no unsold copy returns, and no long term commitment.
Why it works in garden centres
Our readers are committed gardeners who regularly shop at local garden centres. The magazine performs well near the till as an impulse purchase, particularly during peak spring and early summer traffic. Many stores find it adds value to the customer experience without taking up much space or staff time.
What’s in the magazine
Each issue includes practical, science based gardening advice written for Canadian conditions, plant profiles that reflect regional realities, and features that experienced gardeners find useful and engaging. The content is designed to be read, kept, and referred back to.
Who this is for
This program is designed for garden centres who don’t have an existing relationship with a magazine distributor and who want to support Canadian gardening media while offering customers something informative and locally relevant.
Why carrying a Canadian magazine matters
Canada’s Local Gardener is independently owned and published in Canada. We are not part of an international media chain, and we do not licence foreign content. Every issue is researched, written, edited, and produced here, with Canadian growing conditions front of mind.
When garden centres choose to carry the magazine, they are supporting a small Canadian publishing business at a time when independent print media is under real pressure. That support helps keep regionally relevant, science based gardening information in circulation and ensures Canadian voices remain part of the gardening conversation.
For many readers, seeing the magazine in a local garden centre reinforces the connection between where they shop, what they read, and how they garden. It is a small gesture that aligns well with the values most independent garden centres already hold.
