'''How to edit pages on Gardenology.org...'''
|-
If you visit a page where the article needs work being rewritten and organized, please feel free to jump in and [[Help:Editing|edit the page]]. This site has a wealth of information that often comes from different sources that need to be combined or rewritten into a unified, relevant article. Before editing any pages, you may need to first request an account: [mailto:support@gardenology.org support@gardenology.org] and log in; you may then want to play in our [[sandbox]] to familiarize yourself with [[Help:Wikitext examples|formatting]]. Adding new plants is as easy as clicking on "Add new plant" on the left hand navigation menu, typing in the name of the plant, and clicking add.

Articles about gardening should be concise and informative, while articles about plants should present everything a gardener would need to know to grow the plant. The information should always be presented from the gardeners point of view.
