About BGT

Welcome to BestGardenTips.com, where passion meets practicality in the art of gardening!

Our site is led by none other than Richard Donglesworth, a seasoned gardener with over 40 years of hands-on experience and a lifetime of love for horticulture. Having recently hung up his professional gardening gloves to embrace retirement, Richard now dedicates his time to sharing his deep knowledge, humorous anecdotes, and practical tips with gardeners of all levels through this site.


Who Is Richard Donglesworth?

Richard’s journey into gardening started at a young age, inspired by his father, a devoted horticulturist who taught him the value of nurturing both plants and people. Over the decades, Richard cultivated his skills, tending to everything from sprawling English country gardens to compact urban plots. Along the way, he developed a knack for solving common gardening dilemmas with creative solutions and plenty of patience.

Now retired, Richard describes himself as a “full-time green thumb and part-time plant whisperer.” His approach to gardening combines traditional methods with modern techniques, and he’s always on the lookout for ways to make gardening accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
