User reviews

Great resource to start planning a landscape

I love this as a way to start planning a landscape, it’s full of native plant suggestions and growing tips. It works much better since it was updated earlier this year

Terrible app

Either no plants are listed or the app wasn't working. Either way, a waste of space. The only thing that showed up was a statement about invasive plants. I thought it would have photos and id info.

??????

This doesn't do anything.

Very useful

A great app to raise awareness of invasive plants and encourage the planting of natives. Could use more plant suggestions and should include a native choice on each. I can think of more plants that could be promoted!

Very helpful

Great app for looking up alternatives to invasive species for your yard. Wish everyone would grow native!
