I was just out playing around and I typed in Garden.com and this is what came up http://www.garden.com/index.html

Now, my question is, will Gardens.com turn into Garden.com? I understood that Burpee owned the Garden.com name? Just curious. :)

Also, is Dave's Garden going to evolve into Gardens.com eventually? Thanks!

I might be speaking out of turn, but I'm pretty sure I can take a reasonably close stab at the answers to these ;o)

Ummmm, nope. (I suppose if Garden.com came up for sale again, NameMedia might consider buying it, as it's a great domain name, but that's pure speculation on my part.)

That's true. I don't know the details of when their ownership of it expired, or if they sold it (they're completely unrelated to DG and NameMedia.)

Again, I'm gonna guess "nope".

DG is huge. It's intensive. It's not a site for the faint of heart ;o) New members are ALWAYS welcome, but some of them are intimidated by the sheer size of the site - six-plus years of data, and over a quarter-million members is huge. ("All these features, all these forums, all these people....eeek!")

The internet world needs a Gardens.com - a smaller, simpler, more localized site for new(er) gardeners, casual/weekend gardeners, or others who are looking for short-n-sweet how-to's to the basic questions of gardening.

We hope that as they get their feet wet (and their knees green), they'll migrate over to DG for more information. That's why we see the two sites as co-existing quite nicely, and helping fill the needs of the entire gardening spectrum, from newbie to advanced, hard-core gardeners.
