Write for us

Honest Garden Guide welcomes clear, original contributions that help home gardeners understand a decision, a plant, a growing condition, or a seasonal task. Send proposals through the Contact page; unsolicited full articles are not required.

Ideas that fit

Pitch a focused subject within home gardening: for example, an explanation of a growing principle, a comparison of options, a useful account of garden history, or a carefully bounded seasonal guide. The strongest ideas answer a real reader question without promising a guaranteed result.

What to include

Use the Contact page to send a working title, a short summary of the central idea, the intended reader, and why the subject fits Honest Garden Guide. Note any relevant experience or sources you would use, and disclose interests that could affect how the subject is presented.

Our editorial approach

We look for accurate, readable work with a distinct point and a clear sense of uncertainty where conditions vary. Contributions may be edited for accuracy, structure, and clarity. Sending a proposal does not guarantee publication, and we do not ask contributors to present general guidance as a substitute for local or specialist knowledge.
