A 2-year-old website of mine has an average above 30K pageviews. The last three months with a steady 39K from real organic traffic. I did not do link building or other tricks, just solid real content. What is the best way to monetize a blog in the garden and plant niche?
Not trying to sell, just need advice

you can promote affiliate products related to your niche 
the question now is where those traffic is coming from. if they're mostly US, you can make more money..

First of all congrats on getting 39k hits a month - very impressive. Make sure to keep feeding content into your site a
Become an affiliate partner for the top dogs in your niche! And place banners / links within content on your website. (Not too much though)
You can also have pop-up newsletter sign-ups, and once you hit a certain number you can sell sponsored spots on your monthly newsletters (kind of like a magazine!)

I have a Siri’s or 2 in that niche.
My advice for monetization:
- affiliate offers for Amazon and Walmart products.
- ebooks: I have ebooks on specific things in the niche, they sell for around $3-5 each
- physical books: I have a few physical books on Amazon for the niche.

You may try finding someone in your niche (gardening) for cooperation
Adding to what others said, if you're getting that type of traffic, considering how volatile ranking can be sometimes, I'd recommend also trying to capture leads or contact information from them in some way. This way, you could build a backup plan or parallel strategy which does e-book selling or affiliate marketing to potential customers as well as generate profit from adsense.

If you’re trying to monetize a garden and plant niche site and you’re already getting 30,000 page views, you might want to consider signing up for display ad programs like Ezoic or Hooligan Media.
You could also look into affiliate programs from companies that sell seeds.
If your garden blog has content on gardening tools and equipment, Amazon’s affiliate program would be a good natural fit.
I’d start with those, but eventually, start investigating your visitors’ behavior.
What kind of pages are popular?
What kind of questions do you think they are asking constantly?
Come up with a course or a book that answers those questions and you can make more money with your blog.
You can even set up a series of courses where people pay upwards of $25 or more per course!
Ideally, you should start a mailing list so you can sell through your list updates.

Thanks a lot for all your tips. At the beginning of May, I did get my site approved at Ezoic, and the big news is that I'm finally making some money. I'm now averaging just over $30 a day and will receive my first $1000 payout in a few days.
I did contact many sellers in the past, but no one was interested. I was told by many shops that they had had a bad experience with affiliates or advertising directly on sites.

Sorry to ask, how many articles got you that amount of traffic?
31 articles so far. Just self-written real informative articles of 2000-4000 words and my own photos. No bought backlinks, no paid traffic, actually zero tricks. I started with a week or so of KW research to find out what people are searching for in this niche and couldn't find good answers to. Then I wrote better articles than those already ranking and after 8-9 months most of the articles started to rank and drive traffic. It takes patience, and I have given up in the past, but this time I just stuck with it.
