Elena Marsh
Gardening Editor — Plants, Soil & Landscaping
10 years experience · Spends her days deep in the gardening world — the growing guides, the grower forums, and the thousands of owner reviews behind every tool and product we rank.
Elena grew up helping her grandmother run a backyard vegetable patch, and the habit stuck. She runs the gardening side of Garden and Home Reviews, where her job is cutting through the marketing — cross-checking soil, seed and tool claims against horticultural extension guides, grower forums and the thousands of real owner reviews behind every product we rank. Her rule is simple: if the people who actually garden with something don’t rate it highly, it doesn’t make our list. Keeps a small raised-bed vegetable garden and a chaotic collection of houseplants at home.
