Affiliate Program Disclosure

At District Gardens, we believe in transparency and honesty. You as the reader and consumer deserved to read, absorb and decide on your actions based on the provision of accurate, relevant, and trustworthy information regarding gardening products, gardening hand tools, accessories, fertilizers, and soil care. By doing so it allows you to make confident and informed purchases and project decisions.

This Disclosure explains how we operate, how we may earn income from this website, and how we maintain our commitment to impartiality and trustworthiness.

Purpose of This Disclosure

We believe our readers deserve to know exactly how our content is created, how our recommendations are formed, and whether we receive any form of compensation.

This page outlines:

How revenue is generated
Our relationships with affiliate partners
Our product review and recommendation process
How we handled advertisements
Our ethical and editorial standards

By being transparent, we aim to protect your trust—because without your trust, District Gardens is not a factor when you are gardening. We want to be your “Go-To” and this can only be achieved through mutual trust.

Affiliate Links and Commissions

District Gardens participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through certain links on our website.

How it works:

When you click an affiliate link on our site, you are redirected to a third-party retailer.
If you make a purchase on their site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
These commissions help support the operation of District Gardens, allowing us to create more content, test more tools, and provide free resources.

Programs We Participate In

We may be part of, but not limited to:

Amazon Associates Program
Specialized gardening affiliate programs, fertilizers, and hardware brands where gardening items are sold.
Marketplace affiliate partnerships (e.g., eBay Partner Network, Walmart Affiliate Program)

Important Note: The price you pay for a product is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the seller’s website.

Product Reviews and Recommendations

Our reviews and buying guides are based on research, testing, and real-world experience.

Our Review Process:

Research– We analyze product specifications, brand reputation. We also research from customers who also bought the product and we consolidate their pertinent and relevant information (through their reviews). So instead of reading 20 reviews, you get the summary into one place.
Testing (When Possible)– We use products ourselves and on occasion get to test the product from the manufacturer to offer our recommendations or evaluate them through trusted hands-on reviews.
Comparison– We compare products side-by-side for quality, value (cost), and usability.
Final Recommendation– We only recommend products we genuinely believe are worth your money. We will not recommend a product we wouldn’t use ourelves.

While we may earn commissions from affiliate links, compensation does not influence our reviews. Our reputation depends on giving honest advice—even if that means recommending a less expensive option.

Advertising

We may display banner ads or contextual ads on our site through advertising networks such as:

Google AdSense or Ezoic
Other third-party advertising platforms

These ads:

Are clearly distinguishable from editorial content
May be based on your browsing activity
Do not affect our editorial independence

We do not endorse every product advertised via third-party networks.

No Professional Advice

While we provide detailed guides on gardening products, gardening hand tools, accessories, fertilizers, and soil care, the content is for informational purposes only. We are not certified horticulturists, or farmers (unless explicitly stated for a specific contributor).

Before acting on our advice:

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
Use safety equipment when working with tools and machinery
Consult a certified professional if you are unsure about a project

Accuracy and Updates

We work hard to keep our information accurate and up to date. However:

Product specifications, prices, and availability can change without notice
Errors can occur despite our best efforts
We may update or revise articles as new information becomes available

If you notice outdated or incorrect information, please contact us at [email protected] so we can correct it promptly.

Any issues that arise from transactions with third-party sellers

Please review the terms and privacy policies of external websites before making a purchase.

How We Handle Free Products

Occasionally, companies may send us products for free in exchange for a review. If we receive such a product:

We will disclose it clearly in the article
We will give an honest review regardless of whether the feedback is positive or negative
Receiving a free product does not guarantee favorable coverage

Conflict of Interest

We avoid situations where our personal interests could conflict with our duty to provide honest and unbiased content.

Reader Responsibility

FTC Compliance
