Gardening magazines for beginners?

My mother just got really into gardening and I would like to get her a gardening magazine subscription as a gift. I know nothing about gardening or gardening magazines and was wondering if anyone could recommend some. I would like to get her a magazine that has a lot of "how-to" type of articles since she is still trying to learn at the moment. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Update:

Thanks for the info guys. Yes, I'm aware everything is online(for anything really). I'm a forums, DIY kind of guy myself. My mother on the other hand is pretty old school. I also think she would just like to have the magazines to read.

    Check out Organic Gardening Magazine. Lots of useful information for beginners and experienced gardeners both.

    Magazines are pretty much old school. Most gardening information is readily available with a google search. I garden and find the internet a much better resource than a magazine. Maybe she'd like some good garden tools, a kneeling pad and some cool seeds rather than a mag. Just my opinion.

    Save time and trouble and get your info online. Magazines are for libraries and museums.

    You can subscribe for a magazine and send to your home monthly. You can search online for them.
