Here are 11 of the best gardening blogs to help you get started in moving up to that next level.
1. The Garden Glove
Kathy and Steve have three DIY creative blogs, but this one, The Garden Glove focuses on ways to increase the overall quality of your home garden. I recommend starting with their Projects page to get a feel for their topics and writing style.

Ananda’s blog is not strictly about yards and landscaping but her background in art allows her to come up with some great projects for outdoor décor. My wife is particularly fond of her wreath and planter ideas.
3. Flower Patch Farmhouse
This is a lifestyle blog where the author Pamela shares details about the renovation of her home and a cottage garden. The majority of her posts revolve around common houseplants so it should benefit a large number of readers.
