Editorial policy

Radiant Garden Journal aims to publish clear, specific garden writing that readers can understand and use thoughtfully. We distinguish explanation from opinion, make corrections openly, and label material produced in partnership.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against suitable sources and revise wording that overstates what is known. Where advice depends on conditions in a particular garden, we say so rather than presenting one answer as universal. Articles should give readers enough context to understand the limits of a recommendation.

Independence

Editorial decisions are made for the usefulness and relevance of a subject to readers. A commercial relationship does not determine an editorial conclusion, and paid collaboration does not guarantee positive coverage.

Corrections

If a published detail is wrong or unclear, readers can contact us through the Contact page. We review the concern and correct material when needed, updating the wording so the change is clear to readers.

Partnerships and illustrations

Paid or partner-supported material is identified as such near the content. Partner placements are labelled so readers can distinguish them from editorial articles. Some illustrations may be AI-generated; these are identified where they appear.
