Write for Us Gardening: Gardening Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Yes, gardening guest posts are accepted on this blog. The ideal writer is a gardener, garden designer, grower, nursery owner or landscaping business owner who has done the work and can show the results. We decline seasonal filler lists, and posts written only to promote one product or brand.

Gardening content is often the same seasonal lists repeated. What this blog wants is real experience: a garden that changed over a season, a landscaping business that grew, a growing method tested over time, told by the person who did it.

My readers run small businesses and busy lives, and many love their gardens or run garden businesses. A gardening post has to give practical, tested advice or a real business lesson, not a list they have seen ten times.

60-second gardening guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

Have you grown, designed or run the business you describe
Do you have a before and after or a result
Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
Have you removed any pitch for one product or brand

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

A garden project over a season, with before and after
How a landscaping or garden business found steady clients
A growing method tested over time, with what worked
Low maintenance approaches for busy owners, from real gardens
Content or local marketing that grew a garden business

If your post could be published on any gardening site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

Seasonal filler lists with no experience behind them
Promotion of one product, tool or brand
Generic gardening tips copied from other sites
Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong gardening pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten plants for your garden this autumn." A strong one says "We turned a shady north facing plot into our most photographed garden in one year using just six plants, so I want to show the plan, what died, and what we would plant first next time." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

A garden over one season
A garden business with steady clients
A growing method tested over time
A plan a busy owner could start this week
A contrarian view on garden trends

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept gardening guest posts?

Yes. Gardening guest posts are welcome from a gardener, garden designer, grower, nursery owner or landscaping business owners and similar writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline seasonal filler lists.

What gardening topics do you accept?

We accept garden projects and design, running a landscaping or garden business, tested growing methods, low maintenance gardens, local marketing for garden services, and seasonal planning from experience. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview of gardening.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a gardening guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a gardening guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a gardening pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: We turned a shady north facing plot into our most photographed garden in one year using just six plants, so I want to show the plan, what died, and what we would plant first next time.
