About Us
GardenRant is the work of these highly opinionated gardeners:
Elizabeth Licata in Buffalo, NY
Michele Owens in Saratoga Springs, NY
GardenRant has been online since June 2006 and quickly developed a following among garden bloggers, garden writers and editors, and landscape nursery business professionals. We have been named Best Garden Blog, Most Innovative Garden Blog, and Best Written, by a jury of our peers.
Garden Design Magazine called us: “Pithy, hysterically funny, with poignant news and views of all aspects of the garden world. Don’t miss their Manifesto!” We’ve also received praise from the Washington Post’s Barbara Damrosch, who said Garden Rant “gives good information, hosts lively and knowledgeable guest ranters, and is anchored by four outstandingly uppity women, excellent writers all.”
Washington Post gardening editor Adrian Higgins said that Garden Rant is “one of my favorites: A blend of gossip, news, crusade and, yes, raw rant, it blows the cobwebs out of gardening’s mustier corners.”
USA Today reported on our gardening activities in the spring of 2010, andMacKenzie Carpenter said in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that although we “will probably never be invited by HGTV to host a garden show,” Rant “is in a class by itself.” In the New York Times, Michael Tortorello asserts that we “mouth off with the zeal of sports radio barkers.” We’ve also been lauded by The American Gardener, Canadian Gardening magazine, BBC’s Gardens Illustrated, and theNational Gardening Association.

Hello
I tried going to your link about Guest Posts “Read all about it here” and the link doesn’t work. There isn’t a page with information, so I want to know if you are still accepting guest blog posts and what are the rules/guidelines. I would really love the opportunity to write for blog, because you guys make me laugh and enjoy gardening even more
Hope to hear from you,
Rose
Hi Rose,
I don’t think we’ve written that post yet. We will be accepting guest posts, as we always have, though. Just email one of us with your post. I think all the emails are on our individual about pages.
Hello!
I’m Sara and I have a small blog about gardening. I would love to write a guest post for you! Also, can I put 2 links at my guest post going to my blog? Are there any other guidelines I should know about, and where can I send the email with the article?
Sorry for the non stop questions
Thank you for your time!
Regards
Sara
I have followed your blog for years, and enjoy it.
With the update in either Mail or your going to WordPress, I no longer can tell who is writing the blog. Would it possible for the gardener responsible for the posting to sign it? Otherwise I have to follow the ‘Read More’ link.
Thanks…
Bob

Just read the rants about gazing balls. I have several in flower beds. I have an old MG filled with petunias with hostas planted in front. I also have a brass bedstead that I use as a “flower bed” and I’m currently in the process of turning a wire corn crib into a gazebo. In addition I have a decorative outhouse and a playhouse in our back yard. Life is too short to worry about what other people think! If some object makes you happy…go for it. Fortunately we live in the country so neighbor’s opinions are not an issue!
Hi there!
I’m a blogger for DIYMother. If you’re still entertaining guest posts, I would absolutely love to submit an article to you for review. I write about most anything DIY, and also cover an expansive list of home improvement and gardening tips. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss possible topics with you.
Thank you!
