Online Garden Media
Many professional and hobbyist gardeners have YouTube channels, blogs, Instagram accounts, and podcasts. Here is a list of our favorites. Some are instructional in nature, while others, for the most part, contain tours of private gardens. They are all inspiring and offer something to learn.
This list can be searched by the gardener’s location, USDA cold hardiness zone, keywords, platform, whether the presentation style is instructional or showcase, and by indoor, outdoor, ornamental, or edible gardening. Select all that apply.
The drop down button on each entry has links to the gardener’s online media accounts and notes on that resource.
