Caroline ArborEditorial Policy
Caroline Arbor follows strict editorial standards to make gardening accessible, scientifically sound, and straightforward. Our team develops thorough guides designed to help home growers build healthy gardens on windowsills, balconies, and open plots.
1. Sourcing
Our articles draw evidence from peer-reviewed agricultural science, academic extension programs, horticultural research institutes, and recognized botanical databases. We corroborate every recommendation with practical growing trials performed by experienced gardeners and master gardeners. We do not use unverified forum claims, sensational home remedies, or speculative garden folklore without scientific verification.
2. Review process
Before release, each article undergoes technical review by editors experienced in plant pathology, soil biology, and home horticulture. Reviewers verify plant taxonomy, dosage rates for organic soil conditioners, seed propagation timelines, and seasonal care requirements. This review process ensures that complex scientific principles translate into safe, manageable steps for beginners and experienced growers alike.
3. Corrections
We correct errors promptly when new scientific evidence emerges or when typographical inaccuracies are identified. Substantive corrections include an update notice at the bottom of the article specifying the modified text and the revision date. Readers who notice an error are encouraged to report it to our editorial team via our contact form.
4. Advertising and independence
Commercial partnerships never dictate our editorial judgments or product assessments. Sponsored articles or product placements are clearly labeled at the beginning of the text to maintain total transparency. Advertisers cannot alter our conclusions, suppress unfavorable observations, or influence our biological safety recommendations.
