Meet the Plant Addicts Gardening Team
Great gardening advice starts with people who understand plants. Plant Addicts works with horticulturists, experienced gardeners, plant professionals, researchers, landscape designers, and garden writers from across the United States.
Our goal is simple: provide accurate, practical plant care information that helps gardeners choose the right plants, solve problems, and grow healthier gardens.

How We Create Our Gardening Content
Plant Addicts publishes plant care guides, gardening advice, landscaping ideas, plant comparisons, and other resources designed to help gardeners make informed decisions.
Whenever possible, our writers combine firsthand gardening experience with reliable horticultural references. Plant-specific recommendations may also draw from university Extension programs, botanical institutions, plant breeders, growers, and other authoritative horticultural resources.
Because gardening recommendations can vary by climate, growing zone, soil, weather, and individual plants, we aim to explain those differences rather than present every gardening recommendation as a one-size-fits-all rule.
Keeping Our Plant Care Information Current
Gardening knowledge continues to evolve as new plant varieties are introduced, growing recommendations change, and new research becomes available. We periodically review and update our plant care content to improve accuracy, clarity, and usefulness.
When an article is substantially reviewed or updated, we aim to reflect that on the page so readers can better understand when the information was last evaluated.
Past Contributors
Plant Addicts has also worked with experienced gardeners, writers, and horticultural professionals who have contributed to our plant care library over the years.
Gardening Resources Preserved by Plant Addicts
Over the years, Plant Addicts has also acquired and preserved gardening content created by experienced garden writers. Rather than allowing useful gardening resources to disappear from the web, we have incorporated valuable articles into the Plant Addicts plant care library.
