Last Updated: 19 June 2025

Hello and welcome to GardensVibe! We’re thrilled you’ve joined our growing community of garden lovers, plant enthusiasts, and outdoor creators. Whether you’re here to share tips, ask questions, or simply enjoy beautiful garden ideas, we want GardensVibe to be a safe, welcoming, and inspiring space for everyone.

To keep this community positive and supportive, we’ve put together these simple Community Guidelines. By participating—whether commenting, posting, or just browsing—you’re helping us cultivate a kind and respectful environment.

Be Kind and Respectful

Gardening is a journey, and everyone’s path is unique. Here, kindness is the key ingredient.

Do:

  • Encourage fellow gardeners at all experience levels—from seed starters to seasoned pros.
  • Share your tips and stories with empathy and patience.
  • Celebrate others’ garden successes, no matter how small.

Don’t:

  • Put anyone down or judge their gardening style or progress.
  • Use hurtful, offensive, or disrespectful language.
  • Engage in personal attacks or negativity.

Remember: We’re here to nurture each other as much as we nurture our plants.

Be Inclusive

GardensVibe is for everyone—regardless of background, gardening zone, or style. Whether you grow succulents on a balcony or tend a sprawling backyard garden, your passion belongs here.

Let’s keep the community open-minded, welcoming, and free from discrimination or exclusion of any kind.

No Gardening Misinformation

We love sharing knowledge rooted in experience and research. Please avoid posting:

  • Unsafe or unproven gardening practices or products
  • Advice that could harm plants, pets, or people
  • Misinformation about gardening techniques, pesticides, or fertilizers

If you’re unsure about something, it’s always best to check with trusted gardening experts or local extension services.

No Spam, Self-Promotion, or Clickbait

We want genuine conversations and helpful exchanges.

Please:

  • Avoid posting repetitive or irrelevant messages.
  • Don’t use comments to promote your business, products, or services unless it’s clearly relevant and adds value.
  • Keep titles and claims honest—no clickbait!

If you have a gardening-related product or service you’d like to collaborate on, contact us directly.

Respect Everyone’s Privacy

Please don’t share personal info—yours or others’. This includes full names, addresses, phone numbers, or any private details.

We want everyone to feel safe and respected in our community.

Keep It Positive and Uplifting

Gardening is about growth, patience, and joy. Let’s keep this space full of that positive energy.

Please avoid:

  • Offensive language or graphic content
  • Drama, negativity, or anything that makes others uncomfortable

What Happens If Guidelines Are Broken?

To keep GardensVibe a welcoming place, we’ll take action if these guidelines aren’t followed. This may include:

  • Removing inappropriate or harmful content
  • Sending reminders to follow the guidelines
  • Temporarily or permanently restricting access if needed

We’ll handle issues fairly and keep open communication whenever possible.
