Editorial Policy

bedandborder publishes practical, factual information for gardeners. Our core subject is the plant and the month, detailing what to do in the garden and when. We cover this through our sections, which include What to do now, Plants, Garden care, and Design & wildlife. We create permanent reference pages on specific plants, months, common problems, tools, and techniques. These reference pages are maintained as definitive sources of established gardening practice.

We distinguish clearly between reporting and reference material. Our reference pages contain only verified, instructional information on gardening methods. Our news section reports on events, new research, or product releases, but this is always presented as separate reporting, not as endorsed advice. We will not publish betting content, invented quotes, or details about a person's private life. We never present health, legal, or financial advice as instruction.

Any claim that cannot be verified through authoritative horticultural sources or direct observation will not be presented as fact. If a common gardening practice lacks definitive scientific backing, we will describe it as such. We are cautious with anecdotal evidence and will clearly state its origin.

We treat images with strict accuracy. We use real photographs and always provide a credit where one exists. We will never use a software-generated image of a real person's face. Illustrations or diagrams are used only for clarity in instructional content and are clearly identified as such.

Readers who wish to contact us about our content, suggest a correction, or submit a factual query for our reference pages can write to the editorial team. Correspondence should be sent to the editorial address published on the site's contact page.
