About the publication

Garden advice that starts with place

This site helps readers design, grow and enjoy gardens without pretending the same calendar, vocabulary or plant list works worldwide.

What we cover

Gardens may be yards, balconies, allotments, courtyards, productive beds, formal landscapes or most of the outdoor area around a home. We cover practical planning, plant choice, soil and water, food growing, seasonal care, wildlife, accessibility and the everyday pleasure of spending time in the garden.

International by design

Seasonal guidance is organized by conditions such as warming, heat, cooling, frost, rainfall and dormancy. Northern and Southern Hemisphere dates differ, while tropical, dry-summer and humid climates may follow wet and dry seasons rather than four equal seasons.

How the site was rebuilt

This publication combines and replaces two older WordPress sites: Making a Nice Garden and Gardening Year Round. Repetitive short articles were consolidated into a larger, structured guide library. Older published URLs are redirected to the closest relevant replacement.

Publisher

Gardens: Design, Growing & Year-Round Care is a division of WRS Web Solutions Inc., a privately owned, veteran-owned Canadian company based in Ontario.

Limits

The site provides general educational information. Local climate, plant regulations, pesticide law, water restrictions, building rules and professional standards take priority.
