Editorial policy

Vibrant Garden Review aims to make garden ideas accurate, understandable and worth a reader's attention. We distinguish general explanation from advice that depends on local conditions, and we correct material when we learn it is wrong or unclear.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against appropriate sources before publication and take care with names, terminology and distinctions. Our writing should make clear what is established information, what is interpretation and where conditions can change the answer. Garden advice may depend on climate, site and plant variety; we avoid presenting a context-dependent choice as a rule for every reader.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made separately from commercial arrangements. Payment or a partnership does not buy a favourable editorial judgement. Any sponsored or partner material is identified clearly where it appears, so readers can recognise its status before engaging with it.

Corrections and illustrations

Readers can report a possible error through the Contact page. We review correction requests and, when a change is warranted, amend the relevant text with care and explain a material correction where appropriate. Some illustrations may be generated with artificial intelligence; such images are illustrative, not evidence of a real garden, plant or result.
