Sources, partnership and corrections
Manage My Garden is built in collaboration with UK Shortlists. They are operated by the same team: Manage My Garden provides regional planning guidance, while UK Shortlists separately owns product comparison, retailer destinations and commercial disclosure.
How the partnership works
- Editorial role
- Manage My Garden publishes source-backed regional planning guidance and labels editorial judgement or uncertainty.
- Commercial role
- UK Shortlists alone controls retail destinations, product evidence and affiliate disclosure. Manage My Garden never ranks products or links directly to retailers.
- Review cadence
- Source records and referral destinations are reviewed before publication and at least every six months.
- Corrections
- Report a factual concern through the published contact route. Corrections are logged against the relevant content version and source record.
A referral may lead to UK Shortlists, where commercial relationships are disclosed. Manage My Garden itself does not contain retailer or affiliate links.
