The garden tracker that actually knows your plants — and your zone. Most plant apps tell you what you have. Garden Guru tells you exactly what to do for it, this week, tuned to your USDA hardiness zone and the specific cultivar you planted. The schedule learns from your notes. The advice gets sharper every season. — Cultivar-aware care schedules Generated for the actual variety you planted, not the generic species. Walker’s Low catmint gets its mid-June shear; Sarah Bernhardt peony gets its eyes-just-below-soil reminder; Stella de Oro daylily gets its deadhead schedule. No more “water as needed.” — Zone-tuned, automatically Set your closest city; Garden Guru infers your USDA hardiness zone from 10 years of historical winter lows. Every care reminder, frost warning, and bloom-period estimate adjusts to your real climate. — Snap a plant, get a real plan Photo identification with hedged, honest diagnoses (2-3 possible causes per concern, never just one). When you save the ID, you get a full care schedule for that cultivar in your zone — not just a name. — Bed designer Tell the wizard your bed’s conditions (sun, moisture) and what you’re going for (succession bloom, deer pressure, low maintenance). Get 5-10 perennial recommendations with bloom timing that overlaps. Save the design for the nursery trip; commit the plants you buy. — Weather and frost banners Real-time forecast for your coordinates. Frost banner when nights drop near zero; heat banner when days hit 30°C+. Tap to see which of your plants are most at risk. — Plant and bed journals Snap photos season by season. The visual record is yours; the schedule learns from your notes. — Daily 7am digest (optional) A morning email with today’s gardening tasks, in your timezone. Silent on days with nothing pending — no notification fatigue. — What’s blooming this month A glance-able card on your home dashboard that lights up when a bloom window opens. Private by design. Your garden, photos, and notes are visible only to you — no advertising, no tracking, no data sales. Built by Arun Kumar in Waterloo, Ontario.

It's the same free care plan you'd get by typing a name, so it's yours whichever way you add a plant. Also fixed, from your feedback -- thank you to everyone who wrote in. - Snap a plant: choose an existing photo from your library, not just take a new one. - Tapping a task from your to-do list lands on the right row every time. - The frost-date check explains why those two dates shape every date in your schedule. - Messages stay on screen long enough to actually read. ### 1.0.11 — 2026-07-30 Fixes for the starter bed, thanks to a sharp-eyed gardener who reported both within hours of launch. - If you skipped the "where do you garden?" question, the starter bed no longer refuses to run. It now uses the same default location the rest of the app already falls back to, tells you plainly which one it's using, and lets you change it in a tap. - When plant suggestions can't be generated, there's now a "Try again" instead of a dead end. ### 1.0.10 — 2026-07-29 Getting started is much quicker in this update. - Adding a plant now takes one field: the name. Everything else is optional and tucked behind "Add details", so you can note the variety, bed and planting date whenever you feel like it. - New to Garden Guru? You can start from a suggested bed. Tell us how much sun the spot gets and we'll suggest plants suited to your climate - then pick the ones you're actually growing and we'll build a care schedule for each. - Care schedules are built around your garden's frost dates, and you can now tell us if those dates don't look right for where you garden. We read every report and fix the ones that are ours. ### 1.0.9 — 2026-07-22 Snap a plant now tells you friend or foe! - Weeds and invasives get flagged, with a step-by-step removal plan: how they spread, when to pull them, and how to dispose of them safely - Garden-worthy plants get care advice tuned to your climate and zone - An easier way to turn on task reminders, right when they're useful - Small fixes and polish ### 1.0.8 — 2026-07-21 Your first care schedule is on us. Add any plant and Garden Guru builds a full, variety- and zone-specific schedule free — so you can see exactly what it does before deciding on Premium. Also in this update: subscribing now unlocks Premium right away (before, the AI features could stay locked until you reopened the app), vegetables show the food you grow instead of the flowering plant, and the app is lighter and faster. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
