About us

Clear, practical home and garden guides

Home Garden Digest is an independent publication covering gardening, home improvement, DIY projects, décor and outdoor living for readers in the United States. Our aim is simple: explain how something actually works, what it typically costs and what to do next — without jargon and without padding.

We write for homeowners and renters who want a straight answer: first-time vegetable growers, people fixing up a first house, weekend builders and anyone trying to keep a houseplant alive. Every article is written and reviewed by the Home Garden Digest editorial team, published under that shared editorial byline rather than invented personal profiles.

Transparency

Our editorial standards

Research and sourcing

Guides are built from manufacturer documentation, university extension services, government agencies and other primary sources. Where a claim relies on an outside source, we link to it so you can check it yourself.

Fact checking

Measurements, timings, plant hardiness guidance and cost ranges are checked against those sources before publication. Where a figure varies by region or season, we say so rather than quoting one number as universal.

What we don't claim

We don't invent credentials, awards, testimonials or statistics, and we don't present estimates as test results. If we haven't verified something, it isn't stated as fact.

Updates and corrections

Articles show their publication date and, where applicable, the date they were last updated. Email us if you find an error and we'll review, correct or update the article.

Affiliate disclosure

Some articles include affiliate links, labelled on the page. A product is only recommended after it has been reviewed and approved for publication, and commissions never decide a recommendation.

Advertising independence

Advertising and sponsorship are kept separate from editorial decisions. Advertisers do not review or approve articles before they are published.
