The spring issue of SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living is out now, with Michael Keelan's guide to everything you need to do in the garden this season, advice on choosing tomatoes, and a look at how the state is recovering from last summer's devastating bushfires.

Spring is here and so is the latest issue of SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living. Grab your copy to take an exclusive stroll around a private Mount George property that one lifelong plant-lover has transformed into a breathtaking botanic paradise.

With blossoms bursting and our lawns coming back to life, we all probably all have a few jobs to do outside. Fortunately, Michael Keelan has plenty of advice on how to get your garden beds back under control.

The devastating bushfires in the Adelaide Hills and on Kangaroo Island last summer remain vivid in our memory. In this issue, Sophie Thomson writes of her experiences with the recovering communities on KI, and we hear a heart-warming story of how one garden-loving Hills family are nurturing their property back to health.

Do you know your open-pollinated from your heirloom? Choosing which tomatoes to grow each summer can be a big decision, but we have all the information you need to make the right choice – or perhaps try something new this year.

Also in this issue, Kelvin and Melanie Trimper Trimper take a look at the best “roses for a reason”. Whatever your preferred cause or charitable organisation, there will be a rose you can use to honour it, and also brighten up your garden.

There’s all this and so much more in the spring 2020 issue of SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living, available now at newsagencies and garden centres.
