A garden app, coming soon
Your real yard, mapped. Care advice that shows its sources.
Map your yard bed by bed, keep a dated photo log for every plant, and get care advice that follows your location and shows what it was checked against.
Coming first to iPhone, with Android after. Not in the app stores yet.
Your yard, mapped
Start with your real yard, not a list
Lay out your beds and borders, place each plant where it really sits, and tap any plant to open its record. Group plants by bed or zone so a whole area can be watered, fed and checked at once.

Field guides
Guides that show what they were checked against
Search a built-in catalog of more than 250 plants. Guides cover growing habits, care, problems and pests, and planting windows based on your local frost dates. Advice follows the place you set: enter a ZIP code or share your location. Guides and safety warnings show what they were checked against, including university extension services.

Plant safety
Know what is risky for your pets
Plants that are toxic to cats or dogs carry a clear warning, and a Dangerous Plants reference lists common problem plants with their sources. This is information, not medical or veterinary advice. In an emergency, call your vet or poison control.
