Write for us

We welcome pitches that help readers see gardens more clearly: their forms, plant life, seasonal changes, materials and histories. Send proposals through the Contact page, with enough detail for us to understand the idea before you write.

Ideas that fit

Strong proposals have a defined subject and a clear reader benefit. They might explain how a garden feature works, compare considered options, trace a garden custom or offer a fresh way to observe a season. We are interested in distinct angles, not broad promises to cover everything about gardening.

What to include

Tell us the working title, central idea, intended reader and the main points you would cover. Note any specialist claims, images or other material your proposal would rely on, and disclose relevant commercial interests. Do not send a full draft unless we ask for one.

A clear, careful voice

We value precise language, sound distinctions and a lively sense of curiosity. Useful pitches avoid universal claims about conditions that vary between gardens and do not depend on risky work, unverified promises or advice that requires a professional or local rules check.
