Stop re-googling what each plant needs. MyGarden-PlantCare keeps track of every watering, feeding, deadheading, and seasonal job across your whole garden โ€” so you can spend your time gardening, not researching. โ€ข Today view โ€” see exactly what's due or overdue, grouped by task type (water, fertilise, prune, and more). Know at a glance what needs attention and what can wait. โ€ข Weather-aware watering โ€” rain recently? Dry spell forecast? MyGarden uses your garden location to surface hints about when to hold off or get the hose out. โ€ข Photo plant ID โ€” snap a picture of an unfamiliar plant to identify it and receive a tailored set of care tasks, ready to track straight away. โ€ข Garden areas โ€” organise your beds, borders, and zones; filter the plant list to see just what's in the vegetable patch or the front border. โ€ข Care log โ€” mark tasks done and the app remembers. Due dates update automatically, so your Today view stays accurate as your garden grows through the seasons. โ€ข Garden to-do list โ€” keep a separate list for one-off jobs: fix the trellis, mulch the front bed, order compost. No recurring schedule needed. โ€ข Reminders โ€” opt in to a daily digest so you never head out without knowing what's due. Frost alerts included. Built for real gardens: practical, calm, and focused on your plants. No streaks, no leaderboards, no social feed. Sign in with email, Google, or Apple. Your plant photos and garden data are private to your account.
