Great start!
This app is a great start to what could be a really useful tool for those into native gardening.
I would love the ability to customize the planting areas more.
But the biggest thing that I see that could lead to quick improvements is just adding more plant options. I’d tackle our most populated eco regions first, as a DFW person, I’d even say Austin needs more options sooner than we do.
I’m not a landscaper by trade, so this app did help me get started in my design, but ultimately I needed to draw what I wanted on paper and used the ladybird and NPSOT databases to help inform my plant choices, heights, bloom color, soil, light, spread, etc.
Another but more nice to have is the ability to view your design from the ground view instead of the sky. Being able to see what a bed could look like from the street is super helpful in planning something beautiful AND eco friendly.
Great work to the devs on this one. Y’all are truly using technology here to make the world a better place. Thank you!

Thank you for using Wild Thumb to get started with your planting, and for the kind & thorough feedback! We are adding more plants soon — watch out for the update 🌱
Very helpful care info
I really appreciate the care info in this app. I have a LOT of native plants, but finding specific care instructions has not been as easy as I need it to be. This app solved that problem for me. Thanks!

Thank you for growing with Wild Thumb, we’re glad you’re finding it helpful! Happy planting 🌱
SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!
I LOVE how you can enter your zip code and find native plants that thrive in your area- this is SO cool.
My only suggestion: Add some sort of Take a picture of a plant -> Plant identifier feature for an extra subscription fee or something! That would be so awesome for raising some $$ for y’all and I’d buy it in a heartbeat!!!
I’m going to be promoting this app because I TRULY believe there are a TON of Texas Gardeners and particularly Houston gardeners that would LOVE this.
I’ll definitely planning trips to shop with the sponsors! They funded an INCREDIBLE app here!!! ❤️🥹

Finally!!!! 🥳
I just saw a creator on ticktock post about this app and I’m am thankful! This make hunting for natives in my area sooooooo much easier!
Great Planning App for Texas Gardeners!
I love this little app, it packs a big punch! I’ve used it to layout and install new garden beds from start to finish, find nurseries in my area, and just get general gardening advice. One of my favorite things about the robust plan layout is that the plants appear on the plan according to their nature footprint. So helpful to avoid overplanting. Looking forward to future releases that might include some of our wonderful small native trees like kidneywood, Texas black persimmon, and Anacacho orchid in the database.
