Editorial policy

Brilliant Garden Guide aims to publish clear, careful writing about garden design and observation. We separate explanation from opinion, check factual statements before publication and make corrections when we find an error. Our editorial choices are made for readers, not shaped by a partner’s wish to receive favourable coverage.

Accuracy and care

We review names, descriptions and factual claims for clarity and consistency before publication. Where a subject involves interpretation, we make that clear rather than presenting taste as fact. We avoid advice that depends on local rules, specialist assessment or safety-critical work.

Independence and partnerships

Partners do not decide our editorial conclusions or receive a promise of favourable coverage. Any paid or otherwise supported material is clearly labelled at the point it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.

Corrections and illustrations

If you spot an error, contact us with the article title and the detail in question. We review correction requests and update material when warranted. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; where they are, we identify them so readers can distinguish illustrative images from documentary depictions.
