Coming first to iPhone, with Android after. Not in the app stores yet.

An example garden plan: each plant is a small shape on its bed, and one plant is open to its card, Coneflower, Echinacea purpurea.
An example garden: each plant is a shape on your map. Tap one to open its card.

Each shape is one plant. No account. No tracking.

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.

A log for every plant

Watch what actually happens, season by season

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.

How we source plant facts

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.

How it works

Three steps to a garden that remembers

Set your place

Enter a ZIP code or share your location, so advice and frost dates follow where you actually garden.

Map your beds

Lay out your beds and place each plant where it grows, or look at an example garden first.

Log as you go

Add dated photos and notes, record care, and see what is due or overdue.

Private by design

No account. No tracking. Your plants, notes and photos stay on your device, and you can delete everything at any time in Settings.

Sourced, not guessed

Care and safety information shows what it was checked against. See how we source it.

Advice for your region

Advice follows the place you set, not one region's rules for everyone.
