Our Garden Planting Calendar Tool
Apart from providing practical and easy-to-follow guides, we’ve developed a free, interactive Garden Planting Calendar tool that helps you determine the best time to plant based on your location and chosen plant. Whether you’re in a tropical zone or a cooler climate, the tool provides personalized planting schedules and helpful tips to guide your success.
At Chicago Land Gardening, our goal is simple: to help you grow plants – and grow your passion for gardening. Whether you have a backyard, balcony, or just a windowsill, we believe everyone should have the chance to cultivate something beautiful.
Services We Offer
Besides our free tips and resources, we also provide one-on-one support to help you go even further with your gardening goals. Through our Virtual Gardening Consultations and Personalized Garden Plans, we’ve helped many growers design better spaces, troubleshoot plant issues, and set up gardens that actually thrive.
If you’re unsure how to start, stuck with a tricky spot, or just need a plan that works with your space and climate, our services are a great next step. We’ve worked with balcony gardeners, backyard growers, and first-timers who simply wanted to grow herbs on a windowsill—and we’ve seen great results.
You can reach out to us anytime to request a quote for either service. We’re happy to help you grow smarter and with more confidence.

The Story Behind Our Site
Before this website ever existed, I spent over a decade in a fast-paced marketing job. Long days, late nights, back-to-back meetings—the usual grind. My calendar was full, and my health started to take a hit. I knew I needed a break, but I didn’t know what that looked like.
Then one day, almost as a joke, I planted a single basil seed. I didn’t expect much. But that tiny sprout turned out to be more than just a plant—it was the start of something new. Watering it, watching it grow, and getting my hands in the soil helped me slow down for the first time in years. Gardening gave me a reset.
Soon, my little balcony was filled with pots and planters. I swapped lunch breaks for seed shopping, and spreadsheets for growing guides. Eventually, I teamed up with friends who were just as plant-crazy, and we decided to build something useful: a space where we could share what we’d learned and help others grow too.
We started with small things—growing lettuce in containers, learning when not to overwater, figuring out which plants survived our ‘trial and error’ style. Over time, those small wins grew into a real passion. We’ve turned balconies into mini jungles, added raised beds in tight backyards, and helped others do the same.
That’s how Chicago Land Gardening came to life. It wasn’t planned—it just grew. And we’ve kept it going because we truly believe gardening can change the way you live.
Today, as the Chief Editor, I created this platform with my fellow teammates as a trusted source of information for anyone who wants to learn, try, or improve their gardening skills. Through the articles, guides, and practical advice we share, we hope to inspire more people to embrace a healthier and more sustainable way of living through gardening.
