The Magazine
Connecticut Gardener comes out 5 times yearly in print and digital formats, and is available by subscription to anyone tending a garden, landscape, or potted plant in Southern New England and nearby states.
From soil to sunlight, houseplants to trees, CG helps you be a connected gardener, working with nature — instead of against it — to create beautiful, functional, ecologically appropriate spaces.
Our readers are gardeners at all levels, landscape designers & architects, hort students and professionals, land trust volunteers, conservation committee members and more … we have a wide appeal.
Every issue features top-notch writers — from nationally-recognized names to local experts in the scientific community and green industry. We never shortchange our readers on content.
Subscriptions cost $24 for 1 year of print (5 print issues), $30 for print & digital access (digital access includes the archive from late 2015), and $20 for digital only access.
Subscribe today (or get it for a friend) — because gardeners never stop learning!

Beginning gardeners and those new to the region can find an almost unlimited choice of classes, lectures, events, tours and opportunities to learn more about gardening in Southern New England and Southeastern New York.
Social Media
CG has an active social media presence. Offering guidance and news of interest to the gardening community, CG’s print, web and social media have become a prime resource for the Southern New England gardener.
The Publishers
Anne and Will Rowlands took over Connecticut Gardener when Pamela Weil (the founder) retired in late 2009. The magazine has been in continuous publication since 1995.
Anne is a Master Gardener, a former volunteer for the Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group (CIPWG), and is a former president and current treasurer of the Experiment Station Associates, a friends group for The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES). She currently serves as both Editor and Publisher.
Until his death in June of 2026, Will was the editor and the creative side of the magazine. An Advanced Master Gardener, former president of The Experiment Station Associates, and volunteer for the Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group (CIPWG), Will had a degree in Geology from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Prior to Connecticut Gardener, Will was the editor of the Westport News, an award-winning, twice-weekly local newspaper, and served on the Executive Committee of the New England Press Association.
