.garden is a plain-English extension for anyone who grows, designs, sells or writes about gardens. It has been part of the internet since December 2014, carries no eligibility rules, and suits everything from a one-person landscaping firm to a village open-gardens weekend.
We're PD Hosting, a company based in London and a Nominet accredited registrar. Order your .garden and it's registered at once and listed in your client area, ready for you to point at a website or set up email. Look up your name below.

What is a .garden domain?

Who a .garden domain suits
Garden designers and landscapers are the obvious fit: a firm in Surrey laying patios and planting borders, or a designer who enters show gardens and wants a name to print on the plaque. Independent nurseries, garden centres, tree surgeons and specialist growers of, say, dahlias or heritage apples can all use it to say what they do in a single word.
It also works well outside business. Allotment associations, community gardens, school growing clubs, village open-garden days and gardening bloggers can claim a short, friendly address that members and visitors will remember from a poster or a parish newsletter.
- A garden designer's or landscaper's portfolio
- A nursery, plant shop or garden centre website
- An allotment society or community garden noticeboard
- A gardening blog, podcast or seasonal how-to guides
Benefits of a .garden domain
Says what you do in one word
There's no need to add "gardens" or "landscapes" to your name, so the whole address is shorter and easier to fit on a van or a sign.
Friendly for clubs and groups
A society that has used a long free web address for years can move to something like ourallotments.garden that members will actually remember.
Room for specialist names
Plant and place names that went years ago in .com or .co.uk are often still free under .garden, such as a variety of rose or a village name.
Choosing a .garden name: plant, place or trade
Most good .garden names fall into one of three patterns, and picking the right one depends on how customers find you.
Place. If you work in one area, a town or village name works well, for example harrogate.garden for a local landscaper. People who search for gardeners nearby see a name that matches where they live, and it stays accurate as long as you work there.
Plant. Specialist growers and enthusiasts are often better served by what they grow: a snowdrop collection, a chilli nursery, a cottage-garden blog.
Trade or personal name. A designer whose reputation rests on their own name should use it, because clients will search for that after seeing a show garden or a magazine feature. Avoid repeating the extension, as in jonesgardens.garden; jones.garden says the same thing more neatly.
Whichever you choose, check how it looks on a van door. If your customers are mostly in Britain, think about holding the matching .co.uk as well and pointing it to the same site.
.garden pros and cons
Works well if
- Your business or hobby is centred on gardens, plants or outdoor spaces
- You want a short, friendly address for a club or community group
- Your preferred name is taken in .co.uk or .com
- You sell plants by mail order and want a memorable shop address
Look elsewhere if
- You also do building, fencing or general maintenance: a .co.uk with your trading name covers everything
- Keeping yearly costs low is the priority: .garden renews for several times the price of a .co.uk
- Your customers search mainly by phone and rarely type addresses: the extension adds little
.garden compared with similar extensions
| Extension | Best for | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| .garden | Gardeners, nurseries and garden clubs | Clear and friendly; renews at more than UK endings. |
| .co.uk | Local landscaping and garden trades | Familiar to British homeowners and much less to keep. |
| .shop | Online plant and seed sellers | Puts buying first rather than the subject. |
| .community | Community gardens and local groups | Stresses the people rather than the plants. |

.garden questions
Who is allowed to own a .garden?
Anyone. The registry sets no conditions about profession, membership or location, so a homeowner, a club, a charity or a limited company can all register one. As with any generic domain, we confirm the owner's email address after registration.
Is .garden a good choice for a landscaping business in the UK?
It can be, especially if the name you want has gone in .co.uk. It tells customers what you do at a glance. Many UK firms hold both and point the .co.uk at the same site, because some homeowners type the British ending by habit.
Will Google show a .garden site to people searching locally?
Yes, if your site and business profile make your location clear. Google treats .garden like any other generic extension, so it neither helps nor hinders local results; your town names, address and reviews are what count.
What does a .garden renewal cost?
Each year after the first, a .garden costs £54.95 with us. The first year is discounted, so renewal is noticeably higher, and we send reminders before it falls due.
Can a gardening club use a .garden for members' email?
Yes. You could forward addresses such as [email protected] to whoever holds the role, using the free mail forwarding included with the domain. When the secretary changes, you update the forward and the address stays the same.
