The Four Pillars of Our Garden

Community

We connect gardeners locally and globally to build relationships, share knowledge, and grow together through real-world and digital interactions.

Commerce

We enable trusted, garden-centric commerce by connecting you with reputable vendors and products that align with your priorities and support your growing needs.

Creators

We empower gardening experts to educate and entertain through high-quality, subscription-based content—giving you direct access to the voices you trust most.

Capability

We provide powerful, intuitive tools—from garden logs to succession planners—that help you plan, track, and optimize your garden with confidence and clarity.

Our Ethical Model: Put Gardeners First

How We Stay Free

The Problem

Free for Gardeners

Accessing the community, using core tools, and connecting with neighbors is—and will remain—free.

vs.

When a product is free, YOU are the product.

Most "free" sites sell your data to the highest bidder or bury you in ads for things you don't need.

Our Solution

🔒
Privacy First We believe your digital footprint should stay in your own garden. While we use internal insights to tend to the site and help it grow more intuitively for you, we never sell your data to outside harvesters. We don't track your path across the web or build profiles for third parties; here, your privacy is the bedrock of our community.
🌱
Curated Discovery To keep our community and tools free for all to enjoy, we feature gardening-related ads—but you're the one with the pruning shears. Our preference engine lets you curate your own discovery, pulling out the weeds to focus on what matters to you. Whether you want to highlight heirloom seeds, support organic-certified nurseries, or find local family businesses, you set the criteria so that every recommendation helps your garden thrive.
