BBC Gardeners' World Magazine is a go-to resource for garden enthusiasts, offering expert advice, inspiring ideas, and independent product recommendations.
The magazine's Best Buy Awards are given to outstanding products that stand out among all testers, following strict testing criteria. These awards are a testament to a product's quality and effectiveness in real-world gardening scenarios.
The editorial team, composed of experienced gardeners, conducts product testing for gardening tools and equipment. They independently select products to review through practical hands-on trials, evaluating effectiveness and performance before making recommendations.
Emma Crawforth, the Horticulture Editor, heads the testing team. Emma holds the Kew Diploma in Horticulture and has 18 years of experience in horticulture. She is the author of the Kew Publications book, 'Things to do with Plants'.
Other team members include Sue Fisher, a freelance garden writer with over 40 years of horticultural experience, and Harry Duncton, a freelance powered tools tester.
The testing process is independent and impartial to ensure unbiased advice. Products are rated according to a strict set of criteria to produce a final score out of five.
In addition to product reviews, the site offers videos that provide advice on what to consider before buying a gardening tool or piece of kit. These videos explain the tool's features, how to use it, and how to maintain it for its longevity.
Product guides are regularly put together to help users choose the next accessory for their gardens, ranging from parasols and playhouses to shoes and wildlife gifts.
