When diving into YouTube for the first time, either as a creator or even just as a viewer, it’s important to understand that in this day and age, the popular social video platform is really a giant conglomeration of hundreds, if not thousands, of content niches.
For better or worse, YouTube’s algorithm is designed to funnel both the videos you create and the videos you consume into carefully calculated tags and labels, which are viewed almost exclusively by audiences predetermined to be interested in these niches.
For new content creators in particular, this is beneficial. One of the most popular niches on YouTube is gardening, and if you’re a seasoned gardener or someone looking to start your journey fresh, launching a gardening channel and creating gardening videos can be both fun and potentially rewarding.
Yet, even when you do find yourself in your perfect niche, there is one area that can still trip up creators on YouTube. Music is a crucial part of the YouTube process these days. To help you out, we’ve selected some top royalty free music options for background music for gardening videos, as well as plenty of insights into how to properly license music and protect yourself against copyright repercussions on YouTube.
What to know about gardening videos on YouTube
As mentioned above, gardening has quietly become one of the most popular YouTube niches. It makes sense, too, as gardening is a hugely popular pastime worldwide that presents a near-endless array of challenges and oddities.
Gardening is also very accessible; all you really need is dirt, water, and sunlight. However, it’s also quite complicated, which means new gardeners have a lot of questions and are always seeking a wealth of information and answers.
Launching a gardening channel on YouTube can be a great way to create content that has a strong built-in audience and an ever-growing number of newcomers seeking fresh advice and insights. As such, many gardening channels offer guides for growing various plants and vegetables, as well as reviews of different gardening tools and techniques.

What is royalty free music?
Before we proceed, we should clarify a few things. We’ve mentioned a term here a few times that you might not be familiar with. “Royalty free music” is a music licensing phrase that can sound odd, but it’s pretty simple. Here’s a great read on what royalty free music means.
To understand how music rights and royalties work, you must know that all music has basic copyrights. These copyrights extend to both the composer of the music and the musicians who performed and recorded it. And if you want to use any music in any videos, you’ll need to obtain permission from the copyright owners.
Royalty free music can be an excellent option for all your YouTube videos simply because it’s easy to find and use. Soundstripe’s music is composed and recorded by Grammy-winning artists who know how to make great music for all types of films and video content.
