Sometimes you need some inspiration for your garden! This list of gardening experts includes horticultural professionals, organic gardeners, and gardening authors, as well as niche experts in specific areas of gardening skills.

I like to use Pinterest to get new ideas, and also love reading books and checking the websites of gardening experts. Here is the list of gardening experts I’ve put together over the years. I also keep a list of my favorite gardening books as another wonderful source of inspiration.

The list below includes gardening experts, renowned horticulturalists, biologists, mycologists, designers, and permaculturalists.

List of top current gardening experts

  1. Alys Fowler: British horticulturalists, gardening journalist, and urban garden/allotment expert.
  2. Mike McGrath: Expert in organic gardening, safe garden pest control, and composting;
  3. Ron Finley: Expert in organic food gardening;
  4. Tanya Anderson: Expert in growing and using organic produce;
  5. Lee Reich: Expert in growing fruit, edible landscaping, and weed-less gardening;
  6. Margaret Roach: Expert in organic gardening and garden journalism;
  7. Joe Lamp’l: Expert in backyard gardening;
  8. Melinda Myers: Gardening host, author, and columnist.

The big list of gardening experts

Here is a list of niche gardening experts recommended to me by friends and mentors. This list is by no means complete but is perhaps a good place to start when looking for gardening experts.

FAQs for gardening experts

How can I get better at gardening?

Practice and experience are key. The more you garden, the better you will become. Educate yourself by reading gardening tips in books, magazines, and online resources. This will help you understand the principles of gardening and give you ideas for new techniques to try. Learn about the plants you are growing. Each plant has its own specific needs in terms of sunlight, water, and soil type. The more you know about a plant’s needs, the more successful you will be at growing it. Keep a gardening journal to track your progress and document what works and what doesn’t. This will help you identify patterns and make adjustments as needed. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things. Gardening is a learning process, and you will make mistakes along the way. Use those mistakes as an opportunity to learn and improve. Seek out experienced gardeners and ask for advice. Many experienced gardeners are happy to share their knowledge and help others learn. Join a gardening group or club. This is a great way to meet other gardeners and learn from them.

What should you not do while gardening?

1. Don’t plant in soil that is waterlogged or has standing water. This can cause the roots of your plants to rot.
2. Avoid over-watering your plants. This can lead to root rot and other problems. Instead, water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
3. Don’t use chemical pesticides and fertilizers excessively. These products can be harmful to both plants and the environment. Instead, try using natural alternatives like compost or homemade fertilizers.
4. Avoid planting in soil that is too dense or compacted. This can restrict the growth of roots and lead to poor plant health.
5. Don’t plant in areas with poor drainage. Proper drainage is essential for the health of your plants.
6. Avoid planting in areas with extreme temperatures, such as areas that get too hot or too cold. Different plants have different temperature requirements, so it’s important to choose plants that are well-suited to your climate.
7. Don’t neglect your plants. Regular watering, fertilizing, and pruning are essential for maintaining the health of your garden.
8. Do not plant flower seeds too early.Make sure the last frost date has passed before planting flower seeds to avoid damage or even death of the plant.
