## What is GardenPin?

GardenPin turns your iPhone into the ultimate garden companion. Whether you're a home gardener, nursery enthusiast, or plant collector, GardenPin helps you identify, map, and care for every plant in your outdoor space.

IDENTIFY ANY PLANT INSTANTLY
Point your camera at any plant and GardenPin's multi-source AI engine gives you an instant identification — complete with common name, scientific name, family, and a confidence score. Core ML works entirely on-device, no internet required. Connect a PlantNet API key for cloud-powered cross-referencing.

MAP YOUR ENTIRE GARDEN
Pin each plant to its exact GPS location on a beautiful interactive map. Create multiple gardens — front yard, back yard, greenhouse — and see your entire collection at a glance. Add custom image overlays to map raised beds, borders, and zones with precision.

CARE REMINDERS THAT ACTUALLY HELP
Never forget to water, fertilize, prune, or repot again. GardenPin pulls detailed care data including watering frequency, sunlight requirements, and hardiness zone, then lets you set personalized reminders for each plant.

PRINT PROFESSIONAL PLANT LABELS
Generate QR-coded plant labels and print them via AirPrint or a Brother thermal printer. Scan any label to jump straight back to that plant's full profile in the app.

SHARE YOUR GARDENS
Share a garden with a friend over WiFi or Bluetooth — no account needed. Export your full plant collection as a CSV for use in spreadsheets or other tools.

WORKS WITH iCLOUD
Your gardens sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud. Everything works offline and syncs when you reconnect.
