What is The Gardener Guild?

The Gardener Guild is a subscription-based, online community for gardeners who, like you, are deeply concerned about the biodiversity crisis. Sign up here.

You are deeply concerned about species in peril. You know wild gardens restore essential habitat but many people think wild is messy and don’t see the point. You want to join with like-minded practitioners to showcase the new function of gardens to be not only beautiful but to serve an urgent purpose.


- You connect with other gardeners by sharing ideas and questions.
- You create photo portfolios of your garden projects. You establish rewilding as the go-to form of gardening.

You are the focus of the community: there are no advertisements.

You decide what you see: there are no algorithms.

As a member of The Gardener Guild you have direct, positive influence. You join with other gardeners to get the recognition your work deserves. You avoid participation in ad-based social media and demonstrate the significance of in-depth inquiry by a community of like-minded practitioners. You show that collective, in-depth attention can solve a critical problem. Sign up to use the internet in a new way.
