About the Author

The guides on Villatic Garden are written and edited by our editorial team, and checked against recognised sources such as university extension services and the Royal Horticultural Society. Our approach is set out in the editorial policy.

How the guides are written

Each guide answers a real question, gives measurements and timings you can use, and says plainly when the answer depends on your climate or soil. Safety topics such as electrical work, tree work, pesticides and water near children carry a clear warning and a pointer to a qualified professional.
