Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency matters to us — it’s the whole point of GardenKindred. So here’s the full, honest breakdown of how we make money and what that means for you as a reader.
We Use Affiliate Links
Some of the links on GardenKindred are affiliate links. That means if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
We may also participate in affiliate programs with other gardening retailers and brands from time to time. Any such relationships will be covered by this same disclosure.
How This Affects (and Doesn’t Affect) Our Content
What doesn’t change: our recommendations. We only link to products we’ve genuinely used, researched, or would recommend to a fellow gardener based on real growing experience. Whether or not a product has an affiliate link never determines whether we mention it, and it never determines our honest opinion of it — including when a product didn’t work well for us.
What does happen: if you buy something through one of our links, GardenKindred earns a small commission from the retailer. This is one of the ways we keep the site running, keep our guides free to read, and keep testing and writing about real gardening.
Other Ways We May Make Money
In addition to affiliate links, GardenKindred may also earn revenue through:
- Display advertising served by third-party ad networks, which may use cookies to show relevant ads (see our Privacy Policy for details).
- Digital products, such as downloadable garden journal templates, if and when we offer them.
None of these influence our editorial content or recommendations.
Our Promise to You
- We will never recommend a product solely because it pays a higher commission.
- We will always share the real results of what we tried — including when something didn’t work.
- We will disclose affiliate relationships clearly, not bury them in fine print.
If you ever feel a recommendation reads more like an ad than honest advice, tell us. That’s not the site we’re trying to build.
