At The Garden Guidez, our goal is to publish gardening advice that is accurate, practical and genuinely helpful. This page explains how we research, write, review and update our content.
Who Writes Our Content
Our guides are written by John Alina, a home gardener who grows houseplants, vegetables, herbs and flowers. Each article lists its author and the date it was last updated.
How We Research
- We start from hands-on growing experience and real observations.
- We verify recommendations against trusted sources, including university cooperative extension services and the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.
- Planting dates and timings are given by USDA zone or frost date so readers can adapt them to their region.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
Before publishing, every guide is checked for accuracy, clarity and safety. We avoid unsupported claims and clearly note when advice depends on climate, plant variety or local conditions.
Updates and Corrections
Gardening advice can change with new research and seasons. We review our guides regularly and update them when needed. If you spot an error, please contact us — we review every correction request and update articles promptly when a correction is warranted.
Independence
Our recommendations are not influenced by advertisers or brands. If we ever include affiliate links or sponsored content, it will be clearly disclosed.
Use of AI and Tools
We may use digital tools to help with research and editing, but every guide is reviewed, fact-checked and approved by a human before publication.
