Rakes Progress

Rakes Progress rakesprogress magazine is all about the art of gardens, plants, flowers - the world outside your window

rakesprogress is as much a snapshot of the world beyond your computer's window as it is a guide to the tricky business of growing stuff. Flick through the pages and of course you'll see gardens, plants and flowers, but you'll also find photography, bees, tools, craft, veg, art, architecture, sheds, clothes, jam and, of course, rhubarb. Even if you never pick up a rake, if you want an antidote to the mad whirl of digital, there is something here for you.

OF A GARDEN is an ongoing series by “exploring the idea of the “garden as object”. Rather
than existing as a traditional horizontal landscape, the garden is reimagined as a living sculptural
