Gardening advice you can trust, for every kind of gardener
We believe anyone can grow something beautiful, whether it is a window box in a city flat or an allotment in the country. Botanifacts exists to make honest, well-researched gardening advice free, friendly and genuinely useful.
Why we started Botanifacts
Most of us learn to garden the hard way: a packet of seeds sown at the wrong time, a lavender that turns woody, tomatoes lost to blight. Good advice exists, but it is scattered across dense reference books, forums full of conflicting opinions and websites crowded with adverts.
We wanted one place that combined the authority of a horticultural reference, the joy of a beautiful garden magazine and the usefulness of a practical planner. So we built Botanifacts: clear guides written by people who grow, researched carefully, and updated whenever the advice changes, so you can get on with the gardening.
Our values
Sustainability
Peat-free, wildlife-friendly and water-wise by default. We only recommend chemicals as a last resort, and say so.
Trusted advice
Every guide is researched, grown, fact-checked and dated. When the science is uncertain, we tell you.
Gardening for everyone
Plain English, no jargon and advice for every space and budget, from balconies to allotments.
