Gardned turns your garden's real conditions into a plan you can actually follow. Tell it about each zone - sun, soil, drainage, size - and Gardned's AI recommends the right plants and builds a care calendar tuned to your conditions and the season. A plan, not a guess. PLANTS PICKED FOR YOUR ZONE Add a zone - a raised bed, border, patio or plot - and get AI plant recommendations matched to its specific sun, soil and drainage. Each pick includes spacing, planting depth, a seasonal plan and care notes, so you know exactly what to put where. A CARE CALENDAR THAT KNOWS YOUR PLANTS Gardned generates weekly tasks timed to your plants and the season - watering, pruning, feeding, harvesting. Never miss a watering again. See what needs doing today, this week, and through the year. MAP YOUR GARDEN, ZONE BY ZONE Every part of a garden is different. Manage multiple zones across one or more gardens, each with its own tailored advice - because a shaded border and a sunny vegetable patch need completely different care. KNOW WHAT'S GROWING WHERE Log the plants in each zone and build a living record of your garden over time. Track what you've planted, what's thriving, and what's coming next. BUILT FOR REAL GARDENERS Whether you're growing food on a balcony or managing a large plot, Gardned adapts to how you garden - not the other way around. Simple to start, and more useful the more you grow. Plan smarter. Grow with confidence. Download Gardned today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Plotly at none against Gardned's 2. Plotly also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Gardned's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
