Urban Garden Magazine. Written by growers, read by growers.

September 23, 2008

British hydroponics enthusiast, Dan Fox, had long enjoyed sharing his passion for indoor gardening through his blog and Internet forums. But last year he decided that to take things a step further and launch a new magazine dedicated to a new emerging generation of gardening enthusiasts in Britain. His vision was simple: to produce a magazine written by growers, for growers.

It wasn’t difficult to find some like-minded fellows within the hydroponics industry and together with an ace design team they launched the UK edition of “Urban Garden Magazine” back in April 2007. The publication was an instant success. All 30,000 copies were snapped up at hydroponics retailers across the United Kingdom and his email inbox was jammed full of messages of support and congratulations. Dan and his colleagues quickly realised they’d tapped into something really, really big!

Keen to broaden his knowledge of the dynamic and ever-changing international hydroponics industry, Dan visited a tradeshow in the United States. He showed Urban Garden Magazine to American and Canadian exhibitors and their jaws hit the floor. The consensus was clear. Every exhibitor wanted to know the same thing. “When was Urban Garden Magazine launching in North America?”
At the time, it sounded like a big ask … after all, Dan was still getting to grips with the huge success of Urban Garden Magazine in the UK! But, due to repeated and persistent calls from members of the American and Canadian hydroponics industry, a plan for a North American edition was hatched.
And now the wait is nearly over. Due for general release on October 1st 2008, you can pick up your own FREE copy of Urban Garden Magazine at hydroponics retailers across North America. Make sure you get down there quick and grab yourself a copy!
