Welcome to Whistle Stop Gardens. We believe in transparency and want you to understand how this site is supported. To help maintain and improve the content we create, WhistleStopGardens.com participates in several affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program.
What this means
When you click on certain links on this website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you. Commissions are paid by the merchant and do not increase the price you pay. These referral fees help cover the costs of running the site and enable us to keep producing free, high-quality gardening guides, reviews, and resources.
How affiliate links work
- Tracking: Affiliate links contain special tracking codes or cookies that identify when a sale originates from our site.
- Timing: Commissions are typically earned when a qualifying purchase is completed within the merchant’s specified tracking window.
- No extra cost: You will not pay more for a product when using an affiliate link; the commission is paid by the seller.
Our editorial independence
We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence our content. Product recommendations, reviews, and gardening advice on WhistleStopGardens.com are based on research, experience, and the goal of helping gardeners make informed choices. Whether or not we receive a commission does not change our evaluations or rankings.
Additional notes
Some posts may include affiliate links to multiple retailers to give readers options. We may also occasionally feature sponsored content or paid partnerships; such posts will be clearly identified. If you prefer to shop directly on a merchant’s site without using an affiliate link, you are free to do so.
Last updated: This disclosure is current as of the date posted on the site and may be updated as affiliate relationships change.
