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. โข 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. โข 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. โข 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. โข 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. โข 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. โข 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. โข 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.
