What's New in Pollinator Patch

2.2.12

October 18, 2026

See your garden in your own yard. On iPhone, Pro members can now open a bed plan in AR at true size, with each plant's name and the bed's measurements floating above it. Place your bed before the preview. Pro previews start with an outline on your yard photo that you can drag into place, and the garden is drawn inside it. Tap Show where the bed goes afterward to see that outline again. Your site plan now opens in 3D. Drag to turn it, pinch to zoom. Yard School is here: five short lessons on turning lawn into a native yard, each ending with one thing to do in the app. A simpler Plan tab, tap any plant photo to see it full size, and a fresh app icon. Plus fixes, including Home no longer asking for a ZIP you already gave us.

There are a lot out there, so we appreciate your kind words!

Flowerbeds don’t suck anymore

Great app. I have tried gardening and managed to kill most things I touch. Converted my flower beds to native plant species with the help of this app and finally can look at my flower beds without animosity. Look great, low up keep. Kids love all of the butterflies and bees that they attract as well.

Thanks for sharing this, especially the line about looking at your flower beds without animosity. That is exactly the shift we are going for, less babysitting and more actually enjoying what is growing. If the kids want to know who is visiting, the app can tell you which butterflies and bees to expect in your yard, not just that pollinators showed up!

Surprisingly useful for native plant care

Really well-designed and actually practical. Makes it easy to keep track of watering, frost, and seasonal care without overcomplicating things. Especially useful if you’re trying to build a more native, pollinator-friendly yard and aren’t an expert gardener. Clean interface, helpful reminders, and no unnecessary fluff. Easy 5 stars.

Appreciate you noticing the reminders stay out of your way instead of piling up. Getting watering, frost, and seasonal care to feel simple without dumbing it down is exactly what we are aiming for. As the weather turns this fall, the frost alerts are where that starts to earn its keep.
