My Ideal Garden is always looking for helpful content to share with our visitors.  We welcome submissions based on our theme of how to help our visitors design or create a beautiful personalized landscape/garden that they will always enjoy. 

The following is a list of items that you should know before you submit your article to us:

• At this time, we are not financially able to offer compensation for articles chosen.  However, we will include an author bio and up to three links to your website, blog or book to showcase your work.
• If we publish your article, the first 400 words may also get picked up on our locally optimized MyIdealGarden.com subsites as well as our main site.  Our subsites are optimized in 3500 cities in the USA.  There would be a link after the first 400 words that would link back to your entire article on our main site where your author bio would be.  We can not guarantee that your article will be picked up for the local optimized subsites.
