Features

🌿 My Garden

Track every plant in your collection with photos, care notes, and health status. Add plants from a curated database or create your own. See everything at a glance on your garden dashboard.

🔔 Smart Reminders

Never miss a watering, fertilizing, or pruning again. Reminders are tailored to each plant's needs, with weather-aware adjustments that adapt to your local conditions.

📓 Plant Journal

Log observations, milestones, and photos over time. Track soil conditions, spot problems early, and build a detailed history for every plant.

🌍 Location-Aware

Set up your garden profile with your location and Cultivation automatically factors in your hardiness zone, climate, and seasonal patterns for smarter care recommendations.

📚 Learning Center

Step-by-step tutorials for beginners, companion planting guides, and a searchable plant database — everything you need to level up your gardening knowledge.

🌱 Onboarding

A short skill assessment gets you personalized recommendations from day one. Beginner or expert, the experience adapts to you.
