About Learn Planting
Learn Planting is a new website and authoritative resource to learn about planting / gardening. We cover best practices of products for planting / gardening as well teach people on how to grow their plants to be as healthy and beautiful as possible (for both indoor plants or outdoor backyards).
Our Goal
Our goal is to provide practical, actionable, and informative advice to make it easy for people to make sound decisions around purchasing effective gardening products and learn how to best nourish their greenery (all plants - veggies, fruits, succulents, herbs you name it!)
There's a lot of bad information filled with biased opinions and rehashed advice. Our aim is to provide valuable, well-researched planting resources.
