FAQ

Gardening influencers on Instagram: common questions

How do I find gardening influencers on Instagram?

Manual hashtag searching works but surfaces whoever posts most, not whoever performs best. Filtering an index is faster: Leewou holds 229 gardening creators on Instagram and lets you narrow by follower range, engagement rate, audience country and suspicious-follower share. The 20 listed here are the top of that set on our ranking, and the full list is in the app.

Who are the top gardening influencers on Instagram right now?

On this ranking, James Wong 🌱 | Plants & Nature (@botanygeek), Rachel Ann Ciastko (@the.rosie.home), LISSS 🧜🏼‍♀️💕 (@lissdabaddest). The ordering blends engagement rate, audience quality and reach rather than follower count alone, which is why a smaller account can outrank a larger one. Data was last refreshed in Jul 2026.

What counts as a good engagement rate for gardening creators?

Use the set you are actually buying from as the benchmark, not a global average. Across these gardening influencers, the median engagement rate is 2.48% at a median of 209K followers. Anything meaningfully above that median is doing better than its peers at the same size; anything well below is worth a second look before you pay for reach.

Are these follower counts real?

Not entirely, and that is true of every Instagram list. Across this group, an average of 19.9% of followers show signs of being fake or inactive. We publish that figure on every card instead of hiding it, so you can discount reach estimates before you negotiate. Anything above 30% is worth auditing manually before you commit budget.

Can I see contact details and full audience data for these creators?

Not on this page: it is a public preview. Inside Leewou you get the full audience breakdown (age, gender, country, city, interests, credibility), historical growth, content performance and email unlocks, plus the ability to save creators to shared lists and monitor their campaign posts. The trial runs 14 days with no card required.
