Our Editorial Principles
We are committed to providing reliable and useful information, basing our gardening advice on accurate sources and practical common sense.
Gardening is highly dependent on local conditions; a technique that succeeds in one climate can easily fail in another. Our sharing of know-how is intended as an educational aid, not as a guarantee of particular outcomes.
If errors are found or new, valid information becomes available, we will update our material and make necessary corrections.
Our Mission
We intend to demystify gardening.
Whether you want to plant vegetables, feed the soil, care for houseplants, control insects in your garden, or just create a new outdoor space, Broad Gardening can provide you with reliable information on how to get there and what to do along the way.

Our Editorial Standards & Hands-On Testing
Field-Tested Advice
We never recommend a pruning technique, compost ratio, or organic pest spray that hasn't been thoroughly tested in our own raised beds.
Unbiased Independence
We do not accept sponsored product reviews from chemical manufacturers. We prioritize organic biological health and safe backyard ecosystems.
