Harvested Garden is the all-in-one companion for anyone who grows their own food. Whether you're tending a single fig cutting or an orchard of fruit trees, it brings everything you need — planning, care, and expert guidance — into one calm, beautiful place. A PERSONAL PLANT ADVISOR Ask anything, about any plant in your garden, and get thoughtful, specific answers in seconds. From "when should figs start forming on a new cutting?" to pest troubleshooting, your advisor knows your plants, your zone, and your local conditions — not generic web results. YOUR YEAR-ROUND HARVEST MAP See your entire growing year at a glance. Harvested Garden maps when each of your plants comes into season, highlights the gaps where you'd have nothing to pick, and suggests zone-compatible varieties to fill them — so you can plan for fresh harvests in every month. KNOW YOUR ZONE AND WEATHER Enter your zip and instantly get your USDA grow zone plus live local weather, so every recommendation is tuned to where you actually garden. LOCAL AG NEWS THAT MATTERS Stay ahead of pest outbreaks, frost warnings, and extension alerts near you — filtered to the plants you're actually growing, not noise. EFFORTLESS CARE TRACKING Log fertilizer applications with smart next-due reminders that respect dormancy, keep a photo growth journal for each plant, and manage multiple gardens — your yard, a raised bed, mom's house — all in one app. BUILT FOR BEGINNERS AND EXPERT GARDENERS Whether you're growing your very first plant or managing a mature orchard, Harvested Garden meets you where you are — clear enough for beginners, deep enough for experts.
