What Interests Our Community

Here are three of the many writing topic ideas you can use in your post. It doesn’t mean though that we are only confined and limited to these topics.

1. Green Thumbs Tips and Inspiring Design Ideas (with lots of photos)

Many people believe that only those with the so-called ‘green thumbs’ can turn their garden and yard green. Prove them wrong. Let your article be an inspiration to everyone who loves the greens and reds outside their home even if they don’t know how to. Teach them the art of commitment and dedication to what they’re doing.

2. Calling All Garden Lovers

Are you a garden enthusiast who has a personal story to share? Write passionately about when you first started to garden or fell in love with your backyard. Share with the readers what you love about landscaping and what will help them enjoy the hobby, as well.

3. The Best Gardening Tools

Every garden aficionado, (especially the newbies and us frugal ones) like to hear authentic reviews of outdoor products. Give us tips about what gardening tools to use– tools that won’t hurt our pocketbooks.
