Home and garden blogs that accept guest posts are easy to find, but strong ones are rarer. On my list, re-checked live in September 2026, 102 sites are tagged home and garden: 82 were live and 34 had a domain authority of 40 or more. Examples include curbly.com, e-architect.co.uk and thompson-morgan.com. Check each site's current guidelines before you pitch.
Home and garden covers a lot of ground: interiors, DIY, renovation, architecture, homesteading and gardening. It's a popular niche for buyers because so many businesses sell into it, from furniture and paint to tools, plants and home services. The catch is that many home and garden blogs are small hobby sites, so authority varies more here than in most niches.
This page pulls the home and garden sites out of my free list of websites that accept guest posts, which I re-checked site by site in September 2026.
How many home and garden blogs on my list still accept guest posts?
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Home and garden sites on my list | 102 |
| Live when checked | 82 |
| Live with DA 40 or more | 34 |
| Dead or parked | 20 |
About one in five was dead or parked. The bigger point is authority: fewer than half of the live sites had a domain authority of 40 or more. That isn't a reason to skip smaller sites, because a well-read gardening blog with real readers can be worth more than a bigger general site, but it does mean you need to check each one.
Which home and garden blogs accept guest posts?
Twelve live sites from my list, with their domain authority when I checked:
- curbly.com: DA 70
- e-architect.co.uk: DA 66
- thompson-morgan.com: DA 64
- balconygardenweb.com: DA 61
- finehomebuilding.com: DA 60
- keeperofthehome.org: DA 57
- tinyhousedesign.com: DA 56

- theinteriorsaddict.com: DA 51
- epicgardening.com: DA 48
- thegreenparent.co.uk: DA 46
- remodelingcalculator.org: DA 45
The category also includes news publishers and online shops with home sections, which don't take guest posts in the usual way, so I've left them out. Guidelines change, so read each site's current write for us page before you pitch.
Interiors, DIY or gardening?
These are different readers with different questions:
- Interiors and design sites want room ideas, colour, styling and before and after stories.
- DIY and renovation sites want clear, safe instructions and honest notes on time and difficulty.
- Architecture and building sites want projects, materials and technical detail.
- Gardening and homesteading sites want growing guides, seasonal jobs and self-sufficiency.
Home services businesses, such as builders, cleaners and installers, usually do best with DIY and renovation sites, where a practical guide can mention when to call in a professional.
What do home and garden editors want?
Photos, first and foremost. Home and garden is a visual niche, and editors much prefer posts with your own pictures of real rooms, projects and plants. Stock photos of perfect kitchens are easy to spot and rarely help.
Accuracy matters too. DIY advice must be safe, and gardening advice depends on climate. A planting guide written for one country can be wrong for another, so say where your advice applies. Editors notice when a writer has never picked up a trowel.
Free guest post or sponsored post on a home blog?
Many home and garden bloggers accept free guest posts, especially with good photos. Sponsored posts are faster and more predictable, which suits agencies placing posts for home brands and services. Either way, check that the site is still active and that its readers live where your client sells.
How do you check a home and garden blog before you pitch?
- Search site:domain.com. If very few pages come up, move on.
- Read the three newest posts. Is the site still publishing, and who writes for it?
- Check the readers' location. A UK garden centre gains little from a blog written for a very different climate.
- Find a name. A real editor you can email beats a form that never replies.
- Ask if posts are permanent. Some sites prune old content in clean-ups.
For the detail, see how to check backlink quality and my guide to high DA guest posting sites. Home topics often fit my lifestyle blogs that accept guest posts page, and healthy home ideas suit health blogs that accept guest posts.
How should you pitch a home and garden blog?
Pitch the project, not the product. "How we turned a dark hallway into the brightest room in the house" will get a reply. "An article about paint" won't. Say what photos you have and how many, and include one or two small samples in the email body.
Timing matters in gardening above all. Editors plan spring planting posts in winter and autumn jobs in late summer. If you send a pitch about planting bulbs in November, it may wait until next year.
Can you place a home and garden post on my blog?
Sometimes, when it has a business angle: marketing a home services business, running an interiors or garden brand, or selling home products online. lilachbullock.com is a marketing blog that's been publishing since the dial-up days, with thousands of indexed articles, and my readers are business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs, mostly in the USA and the UK. Pure DIY and growing guides suit the sites above better. Guidelines are on my home page, and gardening topics have their own gardening page.
How placing a post on my blog works
- Email [email protected], or start on my write for me page, with your target URL, topic and niche.
- I reply with whether it fits and which format I'd pick: a new sponsored post or a link insertion into an existing, indexed article.
- You send the article, or I choose the right existing article for your link.
- I edit, publish and send you the live URL.
Accepted posts usually go live within 24 to 48 hours of everything being agreed. Placements are permanent. I invoice by PayPal, and if you're an agency, I never contact your client.
