Growing a garden shouldn’t feel hard. We started GardensJournal because we know what it’s like to stand in your yard, unsure where to begin.
Maybe you’ve killed a few plants. You may be tired of confusing advice that doesn’t actually work.
We get it, and we’re here to help.
Our goal is simple: give you reliable tips that make sense and actually fit into your life. No complicated jargon. No impossible standards. Just real guidance from people who care about your success.
Think of us as your gardening friends, here whenever you need us.
Meet the Team Behind GardensJournal
We love plants, and that’s how this all started. Our founders spent years working with soil, seeds, and everything green, but they noticed something frustrating, most gardening advice felt overwhelming and too confusing.
So they decided to change that. Our team includes people who studied plants professionally, designed gardens for years, and live sustainably every day.
But here’s what really matters: we care about you. We don’t just throw information at you and hope it sticks.
We listen to your questions, understand when things go wrong in your garden, and give you answers that actually make sense for your situation.
No fluff, no confusion, just helpful advice from real people who want to see you succeed.
From Local Blog to Trusted Gardening Resource
We started small, just a simple blog sharing tips with our local community.
People liked what we had to say because we kept things honest and practical, with no fancy talk or impossible promises, just real advice that worked.
Word spread, more people found us, and soon readers from across the country started following along. Now we help thousands of gardeners, even some from other countries.
But what hasn’t changed is our promise to give you clear advice you can actually use. We still write for everyone, from people just starting out to those who’ve been gardening for years.
Our roots are the same, we just grew bigger.
