Welcome to the GardenSource Family
Whether you’re growing colorful pansies in balcony pots, planning your first backyard vegetable patch, or dreaming of a lush hydrangea border, we’re here to make it simple, successful, and 100% organic.

Our Expertise — The “Who” Behind GardenSource
Umer Hayiat – Founder & Gardening Expert
10+ years hands-on organic gardening experience. Umer grows a flourishing garden in Pakistan using only natural methods and has personally tested hundreds of tools, seeds, and techniques. From building raised beds to calculating perfect soil mixes, he turns complex horticulture into simple, actionable steps.
He’s the same guy who wakes up at dawn to check tomato plants, spends weekends refining free calculators, and genuinely geeks out over the perfect snapdragon color combo. When Umer recommends a flower variety or tool, you know it’s because he’s grown it, used it, and measured the results himself.
Our small but dedicated writing and review team consists of fellow organic gardening enthusiasts — home growers, former nursery professionals, and calculator nerds — all vetted by Umer to ensure every piece meets his high standards of practicality and honesty.
Our Review & Content Process — The “How”
Transparency isn’t a buzzword here — it’s how we operate.
- Research: We dig into university studies, extension service data, real gardener forums, and our own multi-year trial gardens.
- Hands-on Testing: Umer and the team personally test every recommended tool, soil recipe, and flower variety in real conditions (heat, humidity, poor soil — the works).
- Comparison: Side-by-side evaluations of 5–15 options before any “best of” listicle is published.
- Reader Validation: We track feedback from thousands of newsletter subscribers and update articles when new data emerges.
- Calculator Verification: Every one of our 92+ free tools is double-checked with horticultural formulas and real-world results.
Result? Content you can trust — whether it’s “15 Vibrant Dahlias Ideas” or the Raised Bed Soil Calculator.
