About Us | Our Story | Gardenese

Growing More with Less

Gardenese was born from a simple frustration: why is it so hard to find gardening products designed for modern urban life? Most garden centers assume you have a backyard. Most plant guides ignore that you might have a curious cat or dog.

We started Gardenese to change that. We believe everyone deserves access to nature—whether you live in a studio apartment or a suburban home. And we believe your furry family members shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Today, we curate the best products for small-space gardening, rigorously vet everything for pet safety, and create resources that actually help urban gardeners succeed.

Our Values

Pet Safety First

Every product is vetted by our team and cross-referenced with veterinary resources. If it’s not safe for pets, it’s not on our site.

Space-Smart Design

We only recommend products that work in small spaces. If it won’t fit on a balcony, it won’t make our cut.

Education Over Sales

Our blog and guides aim to help you succeed, not just sell you things. Knowledge is the foundation of every great garden.

Honest Recommendations

We only recommend products we’d use ourselves. Quality and value matter more than commissions.

How We Make Money

Gardenese is an affiliate site. When you purchase products through our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep creating free content and curating the best products for urban gardeners.

We never let commissions influence our recommendations. If a product isn’t genuinely good for our readers, it doesn’t make the cut—period. Our reputation depends on your trust.
