As helpful as (we’d like to think) reading articles about plants and gardening can be, it’s also nice to have an online community that can answer questions, give advice, and provide some horticultural inspiration. Fortunately, there are plenty of subreddits—some with hundreds of thousands of members from all over the world—that offer a deep-dive into all-things gardening.
In an article on BobVila.com, Alexa Erickson dug up the best plant-related subreddits that are both useful and entertaining. Here are a few to check out.
r/DramaticHouseplants
