Genuine Garden Guide welcomes original ideas that help readers see garden design with greater clarity. We are interested in focused, well-shaped contributions about composition, planting as visual form, materials, garden history and seasonal views.
What makes a good pitch
Propose one specific question, explain the fresh angle, name the reader who would find it useful and sketch the main points you would cover. A strong pitch has room for concrete visual examples and a clear takeaway, without relying on unsupported claims, a product roundup or a step-by-step task outside our editorial scope.
Original work and scope
Send work written for this publication and tell us if it has appeared elsewhere or is under consideration elsewhere. We do not accept copied work, disguised advertising or claims of expertise that cannot be substantiated. Our focus is design literacy, not professional landscaping, construction, hazardous work or site-specific technical instructions.
How to send an idea
Use the Contact page and choose the editorial question option to send your pitch. Include a proposed title, a short summary and a brief outline. A proposal is not a commission; wait for a response before writing a full article.
A garden is more than its plants
Paths, edges, materials and views all shape what we notice. Looking closely can change how an existing garden feels, without asking it to become something else.
