Growing gardens is a wide niche. If you cultivate a garden of any kind—be it indoors or outdoors, for flowers or veggies you can create a website on it and add content to it regardless of its category or type. Similar to other specialisations, gardening is rather broad, and gardeners frequently specialise in one or two areas. That clears the way for someone to have a website on their own gardening sub niche.
For a gardening blog, some of the inputs are obvious – images or pictures. Start snapping photos of your plants as they go through the many phases, such as preparing the soil, planting, watering, harvesting, weed removal, and insect control etc.
The following are some General Categories of Gardening:
| Greenhouse farming |
| Particular crop farming |
| Multi Cropping methods |
| Alternative crops with short lifespan |
| Combined farming with livestock rearing |
| Watering or irrigation |
| Maintenance |
You can specialise in some of the types of gardening, and generate new concepts, while imparting your knowledge to others.
To be clear, let’s examine a few of the many gardening sub-niches that exist and the areas of that sub niche that can be tackled.:
