KITCHEN GARDEN MAGAZINE SCOOPS COVETED MAGAZINE OF THE YEAR ACCOLADE

Kitchen Garden magazine, the UK’s best-selling monthly magazine for growing your own fruit and veg, has been named Magazine of the Year in the Specialist Interest category by a prestigious national awards organisation.

The Newspaper and Magazine Awards (NMA) held a virtual awards ceremony, due to current Covid restrictions, where Kitchen Garden successfully fended off stiff competition from a number of national magazine titles including other garden sector publications to take the top spot.

The NMA judging panel said of Kitchen Garden: “This title really pushed the boundaries to find new opportunities and adapted quickly to a changing world whilst achieving impressive increases in newsstand and subs sales.” They went on to say: “Kitchen Garden drove audience engagement through a new YouTube channel, growing their community on social media and introducing podcasts.”
