I’m writing for Candide, a new website and app for U.S. gardeners
Candide, a website and social sharing app for gardeners, recently launched in the U.S., after first growing its user base in South Africa and the U.K. Now that U.S. gardeners have access, I’m happy to announce that I’m writing articles for the website and sharing more-personal gardening photos and posts via the app, which is kind of like Instagram for gardeners.
You can find a few of my gardening articles there now, with more to come.
And if you join the free app, you can find me there too, under the imaginative username PamPenick. If you’ve ever thought it would be fun to have a gardening blog but haven’t bothered with setting one up, or if you share plant pics all the time on IG or FB, boring your non-gardening friends and family, Candide is for you.
Check Candide out, both the website’s gardening articles and the social-sharing app. I’ll see you there!

So excited for this new app. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to reading and sharing. Talk about going down the rabbit hole;–)
I look forward to seeing lots of U.S. gardeners there, Gail. Hope you enjoy the rabbit-hole excursion!
Boo hoo! Candide app is not available for a kindle fire. Sounds so fun. Congrats on being a contributor!
Oh, bummer! They’ve just started rolling it out in the U.S., so maybe the Kindle Fire will have access to it sooner or later?
And I just started using Instagram! OK, I will give Candide a shot. How do you pronounce “Candide”?
Cool! I’ll look for you there, Michael. It’s pronounced like the title of the book by Voltaire, which is what it’s named after. Here’s what they say on the website:
I clicked over to follow your Insta account. Another thing about Insta that I liked as a travel writer was that I could hit 3 platforms at once–Insta, FB, & Twitter.
I gave up on Twitter 3 years ago, but I enjoy Instagram and post regularly there and on FB.
Thanks for the heads-up, Pam!
Hope to see you there, Kris!
Good to know – if someone like you is writing for them I trust the info more. I occasionally use the web-based version for commonorgarden plants.
Thank you, Diana, for the compliment! They seem to be hiring garden writers — rather than writers who may not know about plants or gardening — to write articles for the website.
Congratulations! I’ll check Candide out
I look forward to seeing more and more American gardeners, and especially Texas gardeners, on the app. 🙂
