SALIFE Gardens & Outdoor Living Winter out now!
The pages of the Winter 2025 SALIFE Gardens and Outdoor Living magazine are filled with lots of expert advice for surviving these chillier months: from tips on growing oranges, to bringing colour through cyclamen, to adding more texture through bark.
Step inside the stunning, flower-filled garden of Glenys and Graham Matthews, who have transformed their Riverland patch from overgrown bushland to an exquisitely landscaped garden, which will once again be showcased as part of the Riverland Rose and Garden Festival in October this year.
The key to a successfully designed garden is playing the long game – implementing a plan that will see the garden grow beautifully not only over weeks and months, but years and even decades. So, Katie Steinwedel has written a comprehensive story about how we can reinvent our gardens now, but with longterm success in mind. 
To achieve our gardening goals, it’s crucial to have both the right tools and to maintain them properly. We delve into the essential garden tools, their roles and how to care for them to ensure they stand the test of time.
An often-overlooked detail in the garden is the bark on your trees: take time to consider the impact your trees’ bark has on your outdoor space – it can make more of a difference than you think.
SALIFE’s gardening expert, Kim Syrus, has listed all the jobs that you should tick off during these wintry months so that the garden is sparkling come spring.
