GardenRant has been online since June 2006 and quickly developed a following among garden bloggers, garden writers and editors, and landscape nursery business professionals. We have been named Best Garden Blog, Most Innovative Garden Blog, and Best Written, by a jury of our peers.
Garden Design Magazine called us: “Pithy, hysterically funny, with poignant news and views of all aspects of the garden world. Don’t miss their Manifesto!” We’ve also received praise from the Washington Post’s Barbara Damrosch, who said Garden Rant “gives good information, hosts lively and knowledgeable guest ranters, and is anchored by four outstandingly uppity women, excellent writers all.”
Washington Post gardening editor Adrian Higgins said that Garden Rant is “one of my favorites: A blend of gossip, news, crusade and, yes, raw rant, it blows the cobwebs out of gardening’s mustier corners.”
USA Today reported on our gardening activities in the spring of 2010, andMacKenzie Carpenter said in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that although we “will probably never be invited by HGTV to host a garden show,” Rant “is in a class by itself.” In the New York Times, Michael Tortorello asserts that we “mouth off with the zeal of sports radio barkers.” We’ve also been lauded by The American Gardener, Canadian Gardening magazine, BBC’s Gardens Illustrated, and theNational Gardening Association.

I’m not really a fan of rhododendrons, but this baby’s been blooming its head off for months, and who can complain about that? The lime green hellebore below it actually looks like a color combination I would have planned if I’d ever planned anything in the garden.
Actual photos of blooms in a real Ranter’s garden!!! Another sign that spring will eventually arrive here in the north woods.
So you rave about the rhody but don’t tell us her name? C’mon, ‘fess up, inquiring minds want to know.
Lovely combo.
I am so happy to read that you aren’t a great planner. I always feel guilty when I read about all the planning. My plans usually go by the wayside when the real creative urge strikes.
I like that rhodie–looks kind of wild, and the color is strong.
Name? The rhododendron has a name? Beats me.
wow, look at the blooms on that thing. The color is amazing. If that doesn’t usher in spring, I don’t know what will.
It’s been blooming for months? And here we midwestern gardeners have been obsessing over tiny crocuses and snowdrops and buds that might be blooms, while that rhodo has been flashing neon on the west coast.
