Editorial policy

Our aim is to make garden topics clear, useful, and fair. We explain what a piece can and cannot establish, and we welcome readers who help us keep the details accurate.

Accuracy and clarity

We take care with names, descriptions, and explanations, and avoid presenting a general observation as a guarantee for every garden. When advice depends on local conditions or specialist knowledge, we say so rather than implying one answer fits all.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made for readers, not partners. Any sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled so readers can tell it apart from independent editorial coverage. A partnership does not promise a favourable mention.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or an unclear passage, contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when a change is warranted, making the corrected information clear to readers.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be AI-generated. Where that applies, we label the image so it is not mistaken for a photograph or documentary record of a real garden.
