The company publishes blog content, a podcast, social media content, and books, and launched a curated online store in 2019 offering tested gardening products. Operating metrics cited in the article include over 3 million social followers, about 10 million lifetime podcast downloads, and roughly 10 million blog visits in 2021; Espiritu’s book Field Guide to Urban Gardening has sold over 30,000 copies.

The stated plan is to continue expanding commerce and content offerings and to grow its operations and teams.
