## What is Garden Me?

Your plants are pleading. You simply cannot hear them.

Garden Me is an AI gardener: photograph anything green, learn what it is, what it wants, and — before you hand over your money in the garden centre — how much work it will actually be.

IN THE SHOP
Photograph it on the shelf. You get the species, often down to the cultivar, what light and soil it wants, and an honest answer on whether it is a joy or a second job — plus what to carry to the till alongside it, in the right quantity, so you are not back tomorrow.

AT HOME
Tell us what sort of garden this is — open ground, terrace, balcony, greenhouse, allotment, a shared plot, or a windowsill indoors — and where the plant stands in it. Every piece of advice follows: a pot dries out in a day where the border holds water for a week, and a communal bed is tended twice a year by whoever turns up.

Then the reminders begin, year after year, suited to where you live and the season.

WATERING, WITHOUT THE NAGGING
Garden Me works out how often each plant wants water, from the pot or ground it stands in, the light it gets, and how much it forgives. A small pot in full sun is every other day; a snake plant on a windowsill once a fortnight; an established tree in open ground gets nothing, because it needs nothing.

And if it has rained on something standing outside, the reminder simply does not come.

GARDEN GUESTS
Gremlins arrive uninvited and eat your plants. Heroes arrive uninvited and eat the ones eating your plants.

Photograph the culprit — or the damage it left — and learn which of the two you have. Never harmful chemicals: the slugs do not deserve a war crime, and the ladybird deserves better than a spray. There is an Employee of the Month, chosen by season and by your kind of garden, with the one thing worth doing for them while they are on duty.

TWO PHONES, ONE GARDEN
Share it with the person you actually share it with. One code of twelve characters — no account, no email, nobody to sign up as. Both phones hold the whole garden, photographs and all, and work without a signal.

WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
The neighbour who waters gets a web page instead: what wants doing this week, and which plant is which. Nothing to install.

IT ADMITS WHEN IT IS WRONG
Disagree with an identification and say so. Garden Me reasons again from scratch, never offering the same answer twice. It costs you nothing — it rather ought not to.

ALSO INSIDE
• Light Check — photograph a corner, learn what would thrive there
• Sow now — what to sow this month where you live, that you have not planted yet
• A wishlist, for the plant you cannot yet fit, afford or find time for
• A harvest log, year by year, so you know if the tree gave more than last year
• Illnesses worth knowing: what you will see, and the test that settles it
• Shopping and equipment lists that write themselves
• Weather alerts for frost, drought and heat
• A garden journal with photographs
• Toxicity notes, for a household with a cat, a dog or a curious child
• Garden centre finder
• Several gardens — home, cabin, allotment, balcony, indoors — each its own thing
• In ten languages: Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English, German, Dutch, French, Polish, Finnish and Italian

WHAT IT COSTS
Free to download. You begin with ten actions. One action is one identification, one question or one light check. The garden itself, the year wheel, watering reminders, the journal, the harvest log and weather alerts are never counted. The shopping and equipment lists come with the subscription, or you can buy a single list for one action. Gardener on hand is 49 kr a month, or 499 a year, for sixty actions — enough that you stop counting. Or simply buy actions when you need them: they never expire, and there is nothing to cancel.

Plants never complain. So we do it for them.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-08-27

The App Store page is now in Norwegian, so the app is easier to find for anyone searching in their own language.

And the repair from the last version stands: photographs can no longer go missing from a plant, and paths that have moved are mended on launch.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-26

Italian — the tenth language.

And a fix that matters. In certain circumstances a photograph could be removed from a plant when the app was updated. This version stops that, and puts back what it can still find.

If pictures have gone missing from your garden, they are not lost: they are in any backup of your phone made before it happened. Install this version first, then restore from that backup, and they come back where they belong.

Also here:
• Your chosen language is no longer discarded on launch if it is French, Polish, Finnish or Italian
• A lawn is a plant too. Add one, and it is treated as what it actually is — a meadow you keep cutting — with the advice that helps the life living in it
• Garden Guests: the heroes now have departments, shifts and a place they work. You can search them, and add the ones you have seen yourself
• Harvest logging is offered only where there is something to harvest

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-26

Nine languages, and a gardener who tells you what to do about the deer.

Now in French, Polish and Finnish — alongside Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English, German and Dutch. The language you read is separate from the country your garden is in, so a Norwegian on the Costa Blanca gets Spanish weather and Norwegian words.

Shut it out. Against a roe deer there is no such thing as safe removal. So you are now told the mesh width, the height, how far out from the trunk — and, more to the point, the deadline. A vole guard goes on before the first snow; if you are late, the ringing happens underneath it where nobody can see. That deadline becomes a reminder in the right month.

The partner it cannot fruit without. Many apples, plums and sea buckthorns set no fruit at all from their own pollen. The app has always said so. Now the requirement goes onto your wish list with one tap, because it is a thing to buy and the deadline is "before you plant".

Hard to kill. For anyone standing in front of an empty garden. A short list of plants that survive being forgotten — in your country, in your kind of garden — and it costs no action at all. Each one also tells you the single way you can still kill it.

Tell it what you already know. Before you press identify, say what you think it is. Type "plum tree" and the question stops being whether it is a plum tree and becomes which plum tree.

And the things only you know. Write your own tasks and your own shopping items. Give a task a month and it becomes a reminder like any other.

Also in this release: search and ordering for garden guests, watering reminders that notice the rain, and a plant page rebuilt into four clear sections.

Fixed: an issue where refreshing a plant's care advice could clear its year wheel, a loading state that could continue indefinitely, and several places where the same action appeared as two different buttons.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-20

The garden has staff, and most of it has never been thanked.

Garden Guests is a new tab, and it opens on your side of the ledger: eleven creatures that eat the things eating your plants. Who is on shift this month, what each one actually does, and what you can do for them. One of them is Employee of the Month.

Also new:

• Greenhouses and allotments are gardens in their own right now, and the advice knows the difference. Under glass, February is not February.
• What to sow this month — five to eight things worth putting in the ground where you live, with depth and spacing in real numbers.
• A harvest log, year by year. Two kilos of tomatoes on the eleventh; each season keeps its own total, and a tree shows what it has given since you started counting.
• Soil, at last — acid, chalk, clay. The commonest way to lose a plant, after watering it wrong.
• A wish list for the plant you found but could not take home yet.
• Companion planting, and which tree your tree cannot fruit without.
• Put the plants in the order you want them.
• Give yourself a name. The app will use it.
• Share the garden with the person you actually share it with: two phones, one garden, no account.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-19

No release notes.
