Over the years I've found "Fine Gardening" to be the best garden magazine.
I like Garden Gate. It's practical, no ads, and not over the top. Check it out at
There tons of good (and free) info on the Internet. Google is one search engine which has the ability to search for images, a great way to find out how plants are supposed to grow and look.
Your county extension agent (assuming you are in the US) should be able to counsel you. Most counties also have a master gardening program, a very good opportunity to learn and to connect with others.
Try a good library. Large cities usually have libraries with many mags from which to choose. Spend some time finding what you like. What others like is not necessarily something you can enjoy, too.
Contact the nearest botanical gardens. They're all over the US. Each should offer a reading room / library with references to keep your mind off the snow until tulips bloom.

Organic Gardening.
And as far as the mags with the ornate gardens, you're not supposed to COPY them, er, "verbatim." You can steal ideas from here and there in several of them and develop a garden that actually looks lived in.
