• Contain misinformation that can cause gardeners to fail
• Are sales pitches in disguise
• Are clickbait for content mills
• Don’t identify the speaker’s location, or even their name
• Are by experts from other continents
• Recommend harmful products or “remedies”
• Are marred by shaky cameras or traffic noise

So garden writers and horticulturists created this award-winning, nonprofit campaign to curate gardening video for accuracy and watchability. It’s a one-stop shop for quality gardening instruction especially for North Americans.

So far, GGVideos has found more than 600 good videos that

• Teach beginners and others to succeed as gardeners, with reliable how-to information
• Are made by Extension scientists and other trusted experts
• Clearly identify the expert and the location
• Are well made – no traffic noise or shaky camera

GGVideos promotes the selected videos via this website, YouTube, Pinterest, e-newsletters, its Facebook page, and by sharing to key gardening groups on Facebook and Yahoo.

How Sponsoring GGVideos is Good for Business

• Sponsors of at least $250 will have their logos added to our site and their sponsorship announced in the monthly newsletter and via social media.
• Sponsors can add one of these handy graphics to their own website or social media accounts to show their support for the cause.
• Good how-to videos made by companies are promoted on the GGVideos website, YouTube channel and social media – at no charge to the company. Ever.
• Companies can identify their videos as “Named a Best Video” or “As Seen on Good Gardening Videos,” where applicable.
• GGVideos helps companies with their video marketing campaigns by suggesting topics that need to be covered and low-cost ways to make their own videos.
• For companies who don’t know where to start, GGVideos is also compiling a list of experts (real ones!) who can make the videos for them at a range of price points.

How Sponsoring is Good for Organizations and Individuals, Too 

• Your support helps more people find this free, high-quality resource and learn to garden.
• New gardeners means more people growing their own food, improving their local environment and boosting their own mental and physical well-being.
• You’re also supporting science over myths and cute graphics on Pinterest.
• Organizations can show their support for these good causes by adding a graphic to their website.
