Tired of searching for good gardening information that's relevant to Australia?

Get Results Gardening is a weekly email publication from Calyx Horticultural Services. Something like a digital mini-magazine, it features reliable and easy to grow plants, seasonal advice, achievable and affordable design ideas, inspiration and motivation.

While focussing on South East Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, etc) and subtropical northern NSW, there'll be plenty of relevance to residents of other parts of Australia.

The "results" in Get Results Gardening doesn't just refer to growing plants well. Gardens are life-enhancing on so many levels and Get Results Gardening is here to help you get some of those results for yourself.

It contains high-quality content presented in a concise and easily-understood way. It's for someone who wants to improve their home and lifestyle with an attractive landscape, but is feeling overwhelmed and confused by the avalanche of information and opinions out there.

The gardening world abounds with myth, misinformation and "woo" that makes gardening seem more mysterious (and expensive) than it needs to be. Get Results Gardening is focussed on proven plants and scientifically sound practices.

Practical issues that affect most homeowners today - such as privacy worries, lack of space, lack of time, water restrictions and budget limitations - will be considered throughout.


Want a clumping palm that's not
the predictable old golden cane?

Because many other media outlets already cover vegetables and fruits extensively, they won't be the focus here. However, much of the basic gardening knowledge covered will be applicable to edibles as well as ornamentals.

International trends are discussed, including possible ways that private or public landscaping can improve your quality of life and raise the standard (and maybe even the value) of your property or neighbourhood. Various interesting, illuminating or amusing items from the world of plants make an appearance, too.

It's aimed at the typical suburban home gardener, but high-quality and topical information will also help nursery and garden industry professionals, property developers and real estate investors stay informed and on top of their game.

There's bound to be something of interest to most Australians each week, even if you don't live in SE QLD or even if you think you don't like gardening!
