What's in the issue

In this latest issue of Amateur Gardening, our friendly family of gardening experts help you cope with the grim gloom of January and look forward to the warmer, lighter and kinder days ahead.

We explain how to shore up the defences against greater extremes of weather and mop up after flood damage.
