Terms of use
The simple rules for using Eating Garden
Eating Garden is free to read and needs no account. By using the site, you agree to these terms.
Gardening advice is general information
The guides are carefully sourced, but gardens differ. Weather, soil, variety and care all change the result, so treat every guide as a starting point and use your own judgment.
Planting dates are estimates from historical climate records, not a weather forecast. A frost can arrive earlier or later than any record suggests.
Nothing on the site is professional, medical or safety advice.
Stay safe in the garden
- Only eat plants you can identify with confidence. Some garden plants have parts that are not safe to eat.
- Keep children and pets in mind when choosing plants, soil products and pest treatments.
- Follow the label on any fertilizer, pesticide or tool you use.
Quoting and sharing
The writing, illustrations and design of Eating Garden belong to Eating Garden. You are welcome to link to any page and to quote short passages with a link back to the page you quoted.
Search engines and AI assistants may read, summarize and quote the guides in the same way, naming Eating Garden and linking to the source page. Please do not copy whole pages or the illustrations to publish elsewhere.
Each guide lists the extension programs and other sources it relies on. Their material belongs to them, and those links lead to sites with their own terms.
No guarantees
Eating Garden is provided as it is, without promises that it is complete, error free or always available. To the extent the law allows, Eating Garden is not responsible for losses that come from using the site, including a failed crop.
Using the site fairly
Please do not try to break, overload or get around the protections of the site.
