Blogs answer “how do I prune hydrangeas?” with “it depends on the variety, your zone, and when you planted it.” ChatGPT can go further, but it doesn't remember your garden between sessions. We ask about your zone, soil, sun exposure, plants, and philosophy once — and use that on every answer from then on. The result is specific, not generic.

No. Beginners actually benefit the most — the app asks the questions an experienced gardener would, so you skip the “wait, what does zone 7b even mean?” phase and get straight to “here's what to plant this weekend.”

Two to five minutes. You can answer in your own words — the advisor interviews you like a neighbor, not a form. You can always add more later.

When you ask a question, the advisor already knows your zone, soil type, sun exposure, which plants you have, your gardening philosophy (organic, native-first, low-maintenance, etc.) and what you've done recently. Every answer is filtered through that — including the weekly tasks you get, the products that show up in your shopping list, and the designs it generates when you upload a photo.

Yes. It pulls real-time conditions and frost dates for your location. Frost alerts and planting-window emails are based on your actual forecast, not a national average.

Upload a photo of your yard, describe the direction you want (“more cottage,” “raised beds for veggies,” “pollinator-friendly”), and get an AI-rendered variation — using your photo, not a stock image. You can iterate until it feels right and save the version you love as the plan to build from.

Yes — there's a voice mode for hands-free conversations while you're out in the garden. It speaks answers back and handles the full advisor tool set.

Yes. There are per-hour rate limits (to stop runaway bots from burning the budget), but no paid plans today and none planned. If that ever changes, existing users keep their access on the most generous tier we offer. See the pricing page for limits.

We use it to give you personalized advice. We don't sell it. See the privacy policy for the full picture.

Yes. Email us from your account address and we'll remove your profile, conversations, and content. Self-serve delete is on the roadmap.

No. The shopping list shows prices across Amazon, Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and others — you pick. Amazon links carry our affiliate tag, which helps keep the app free. It costs you nothing extra.

No. If your profile says organic, we filter for organic. If you said native-first, we prioritize native options. Same for budget constraints. You set the rules.

Today it's an AI advisor trained on general gardening knowledge and tuned for personalization. We're in the process of bringing real gardening experts onto the platform so you can follow and weight advice from people you trust by region and specialty.

Use it the way you'd use advice from a knowledgeable friend — as a strong starting point, not a substitute for your own observation or a local nursery owner who knows your microclimate. If something feels off for your yard, trust your eyes first.

Please email us. A screenshot and the plants you're working with helps a lot — we read everything and usually ship fixes fast.
