Richmond-Petersburg, VA - Home Garden Joy, the gardening and lifestyle website written by author and gardener Jeanne Grunert, was named one of the top 50 blogs in Virginia by Feedspot.

According to Feedspot, the Best Virginia Blogs were chosen from thousands of blogs using search and social metrics. Rankings were based on Google reputation and Google search ranking, the blog’s influence and popularity on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites, the quality and consistency of posts, and Feedspot’s editorial team and expert review
