Editorial Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

Little Garden Days publishes practical home and garden guides for readers in the United States. Our aim is to make everyday decisions easier, with clear explanations, useful planning steps, and honest limits.

Research and sources

For horticultural and technical claims, we prioritize sources such as university Cooperative Extension programs, the USDA, public agencies, and manufacturers’ care instructions. Source links appear with relevant advice or in an article’s references. Decorating ideas and sample layouts are editorial suggestions, rather than claims of measured performance.

Experience and testing

We distinguish researched guidance from firsthand experience. We do not invent garden diaries, expert credentials, reader testimonials, before-and-after results, or product tests. A product is not described as tested unless an actual documented test supports that claim.

Images and AI assistance

We may use AI tools to assist with drafting, editing, design, and illustrative images. Generated scenes show ideas and possibilities; they do not document a real property, a plant trial, or a completed renovation. Images are not a substitute for plant identification, measurements, safety instructions, or verified results. Content should be checked against the sources and local conditions before you act on it.

Regional and safety limits

Gardening recommendations depend on climate, soil, cultivar, and growing conditions. Home projects depend on materials, building requirements, and your skills. We flag important limits and encourage readers to follow labels, consult local Extension services, and use qualified professionals for work involving structural, electrical, plumbing, or other specialist risks.

Commercial transparency

Advertisements, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships will be identified when used. Advertising is separate from editorial guidance. We do not describe a paid placement as an independent test or promise a particular outcome.

Corrections and feedback

If you find an error, use our Contact page and include the article link, the detail in question, and a supporting source if you have one. We consider correction requests and revise material when warranted. Substantial corrections should be explained in the affected article.
