We serve home gardeners

We aspire to be inspiring for home gardeners, so our company is called Inspiring Media Inc.

We're a small, independent publisher, based in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

Our magazine, Garden Making, is the trusted Canadian source for gardeners in a northern climate. It's published four times a year – in February, May, August and November.

Our print and digital audiences include expert and beginning gardeners — anyone who really wants to know the what, when and how of gardening.
