Frequently asked questions

Do you accept guest posts or sponsored articles?
We occasionally work with brands and contributors, but every published piece goes through the same editorial process as our own writing - no pay-to-publish placements. Reach out through the contact page with specifics.
How often do you publish new articles?
Roughly two to three new guides per week across our four categories, plus periodic updates to older articles when a technique, product landscape, or growing recommendation changes.
Are your plant recommendations specific to one climate?
Where a recommendation is climate-dependent - native plant lists especially - we say so explicitly and try to note regional alternatives. General design and maintenance advice is written to apply broadly, with climate caveats called out.
Do you sell anything or take affiliate commissions?
Some links to tools and materials we recommend are affiliate links, disclosed on the relevant pages and in our Affiliate Disclosure. We don't accept payment in exchange for a specific recommendation.
Can I reprint or quote your articles?
Short excerpts with a link back are welcome. For anything longer, or to reprint an article in full, contact us first - see our Terms of Use for the specifics.
