A Japanese garden? A green pergola? A veggie patch? Describe your project to Flore, FloreSage's assistant: she turns it into a step plan β€” each step at the right time of year, explained thoroughly (soil, techniques, quantities, mistakes to avoid). You check off, your garden moves forward. And for the day-to-day, FloreSage remains your garden's encyclopedia. No more running between the weather app, the forum, the YouTube tutorial and the borrowed book. All the rich info on your garden β€” plants, soil, calendar, companion planting β€” in one place, tuned to your climate, your soil, your team. A NURSERY OF 380 PLANTS From the classic vegetable patch to tropical fruit trees, from herbs to ornamentals. Every plant is verified on its key parameters (climate zone, soil, aspect, full cycle) against external botanical sources (POWO, RHS, ASPCA). For the emblematic species β€” tomato, courgette, runner bean, lettuce, strawberry β€” named varieties with their criteria: earliness, habit, frost resistance, culinary use. The full-screen sowing calendar tells you what to sow, month by month. Already gardening? Find your plants and add them in one go. TOXIC PLANTS: KNOW BEFORE YOU PLANT Children, dogs, cats: toxic plants are flagged on their card, with the parts concerned and the level of risk. You compose your garden with your eyes open. READ YOUR SOIL THROUGH WILD PLANTS No need to send a sample to a lab. You tick the wild plants you spot β€” nettle, dandelion, chickweed, horsetail β€” and FloreSage translates what they reveal. Acidic, compacted, rich, chalky, free-draining: your soil speaks. The method of French botanist GΓ©rard Ducerf, built into the app. PLANT CARE, WITHOUT THE GUILT You tell me your region and climate. I turn each plant's full cycle into care tasks lined up against your real calendar: watering, pruning, sowing, harvest. Each day, your tasks as cards; seasonal tasks tick off in one tap; your latest actions stay within reach. Never "overdue": a garden has no deadline. With automatic frost alerts. GOOD COMPANIONS, AND THE ONES TO SKIP 330+ sourced plant pairings: why it works, where to place, what to maintain, and the pitfalls. When you compose your patch, FloreSage flags the plants that help each other β€” and the ones that hold each other back. SEVERAL GARDENS, UP TO 10 The family vegetable patch, the flat balcony, the community plot, the holiday garden. Each garden has its own soil, climate, goals and plants β€” and the Nursery, tasks, recommendations adjust to the active garden. Switch between them via the selector at the top. BUILT FOR SHARED GARDENS Shared vegetable garden, family plot, community allotment: invite anyone, each keeps their own account. Garden Watch assigns a week, a task or a plant to a member β€” rather than chore by chore. Plan six months ahead. A feature still rare elsewhere. THE GARDEN LIBRARY 35 guides on pests, diseases and techniques β€” spot it, prevent it, act on it β€” sorted by season and level. Plus a seasonal tip on your daily screen. You garden, you learn. WE CAN HAVE A CHAT A yellowing leaf, a doubt about a variety, an idea you're not sure how to start? I already know your garden, your plants, your region β€” so my answer comes with your context. Not a generic search engine. FRENCH, ENGLISH AND SPANISH Interface, plant care, plant cards, even our chats: everything follows the language you choose. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Stored on European servers (GDPR), never sold, never used for ads. I make my living from gardeners' support, not their data. FRUGAL WITH AI When the answer is in my own knowledge, I don't call the AI. Quicker, more accurate, lighter on the planet. iPhone and iPad β€” iOS 17 minimum. Free, no ads.
