About the channel

Real gardening advice from a real gardener

Hi, I'm Craig. I started Best Garden Channel because most gardening content online is either too complicated, too expensive, or just plain wrong. I test everything I recommend — from soil mixes to raised bed brands — so you don't waste your time or money.

When I'm not in the garden, I'm an attorney, a dad, and an active member of my church community. Gardening is where I slow down — and I want to help you do the same.
