What We’re Looking For?
HeyNiceGarden focuses on practical garden ideas that help people grow plants successfully. We want writers who can share real experiences with planting methods, garden layouts, and growing techniques.
Topics We Love
We are seeking articles about garden design and planning. Share your tips on vegetable garden layouts, flower bed arrangements, raised bed construction, and small space gardening. Write about seasonal planting based on your personal experience with what works and what doesn’t.
Growing guides perform well with our readers. Cover topics like how to grow sweet potatoes, starting seeds indoors, pest control methods, and soil improvement. Include supply lists, step-by-step instructions, and timing recommendations.
HeyNiceGarden also needs content related to garden structures and outdoor features. Write about building raised beds, creating cut flower gardens, planning cottage gardens, and designing potager layouts. Always back up your claims with facts and sources.
Garden problem-solving articles help many readers. Share advice on dealing with poor soil, shade gardens, container growing, and water management. Include before-and-after results when possible.
We also accept content about garden rooms, outdoor living spaces, and decorative garden ideas. Write about rock painting for gardens, repurposing tree stumps, and creating fairy gardens.
Content Types Accepted
We publish how-to guides, growing tutorials, design plans, and informational articles. List posts like “10 Best Herbs for Small Gardens” work well for our audience. We accept beginner guides and advanced techniques depending on your expertise.
Product reviews should be honest and detailed. Include pros, cons, costs, and where to buy items. Photo guides showing step-by-step processes get great engagement from HeyNiceGarden readers.
Personal experience stories about gardening successes and failures help many people. Share your results with different plants, layouts you tried, and outcomes you’ve seen.
Submission Guidelines
HeyNiceGarden has simple rules to help you write content that our readers will love. Follow these guidelines to increase your chances of getting published.
Writing Style
Write like you’re talking to a friend who wants to start a garden. Use simple words and short sentences. Explain gardening terms when you first use them. Keep paragraphs to 2-3 sentences maximum.
Be honest about both successes and failures. HeyNiceGarden readers value real opinions over perfect magazine photos. Include specific details like plant varieties, spacing, and growing zones.
Always include safety warnings when needed. Remind readers about proper tool use and chemical safety. We care more about helping gardeners than promoting products.
Formatting Requirements
Use headings to break up your content into easy sections. Include bullet points for supply lists and steps. Add relevant links to support your claims, but don’t overdo it.
Articles should be 800-2000 words long. Include at least 3-5 subheadings to make scanning easier. HeyNiceGarden prefers short paragraphs and white space to improve readability.
Submit articles in Google Docs or Word format. Include suggested images or photo ideas. We handle final formatting, but a clear structure helps our editing process.
What You Get in Return?
We provide author credit with a short bio and link back to your website or social media. In-depth growing guides and design content typically earn higher rates than simple craft projects.
All writers get a bio section with links to their website or social media. HeyNiceGarden promotes popular articles on our social channels and gives you credit for the work. Building a portfolio with us opens doors to other writing opportunities.
Our editing team helps improve your writing without changing your voice. You’ll learn better writing techniques and gardening knowledge from working with our experienced editors.
