Anyone know anything about Garden Life - a Victorian periodical from
around
1900?

I recovered some copies from a loft many years ago and now I am trying to
find out about this publication but Google is not being my friend.

Cheers

Ah - found it now.
Finger trouble - I was searching the website not the main catalogue.
Looks as though they only hold the initial edition.
