We are a team of passionate home gardeners and horticulture writers committed to making reliable, practical growing knowledge accessible to everyone.
Gardomist was founded by a group of lifelong garden enthusiasts who were frustrated by the gap between the gardening advice available online and what actually works in a real backyard. Too much of what circulates on the internet is vague, recycled, or written by people who have never held a trowel.
We set out to build something different: a gardening resource rooted in genuine growing experience, where every tip has been tested in real soil and every guide is written with the specific challenges of home gardeners in mind.
Based in Owensboro, Kentucky, our team writes from experience in a range of growing conditions. We understand the realities of variable weather, limited space, busy schedules, and the learning curve every new gardener faces. Our goal is to meet you where you are and help you grow with confidence.
Since launching, Gardomist has grown to serve tens of thousands of readers each month. We are proud to have helped beginners harvest their first tomatoes, experienced growers improve their soil, and everyone in between find more joy in their gardens.
Our values guide every article we publish and every recommendation we make.
Every piece of advice we publish is grounded in established horticultural knowledge and practical experience. We do not publish claims we cannot support with evidence or direct growing experience.
We believe in working with natural processes rather than against them. Our guidance prioritises organic methods, soil health, water conservation, and approaches that support garden biodiversity.
Gardening should not be intimidating. We write for beginners without oversimplifying for experienced growers, and we cover a range of budgets, spaces, and skill levels.
Horticulture is a continuously evolving field. We regularly review and update our content to reflect current best practices, new research, and seasonal relevance.
Gardomist content is written and reviewed by real gardeners with hands-on growing experience.
