Description
Your garden, organized — now with AI-powered advice. Keep a living record of every plant in your yard, and get personalized tips on how to help it all thrive.
GardenKeeper lets you organize plants by property and zone, so whether you have a single backyard bed or manage multiple gardens, everything has its place. Add photos, jot down notes, build a personal catalog of your plants over time — and tap into a built-in Garden Advisor that turns that catalog into actionable guidance.
How it works:
Properties are areas like your home, a community plot, or a friend's yard you help tend. Zones are the sections within them — the vegetable bed, the shade garden, the front porch containers. Plants live inside zones, each with its own photos, planting date, and notes.
Snap a photo when you plant something new. Add another when it blooms. Write a note about what worked and what didn't. Over time, GardenKeeper becomes a journal of your garden's life.
Meet your AI Garden Advisor:
Open any zone and tap Tips to get tailored advice for the plants growing there:
• A watering schedule and fertilizer guidance suited to the whole zone
• A practical maintenance checklist
• Complementary plants worth adding, with the reasons they pair well
• Winter protection alerts for tender plants — like lifting canna bulbs or wrapping a windmill palm before frost
Add your property's location and each zone's sun exposure and conditions, and the advice gets sharper: climate-aware, hardiness-aware, and matched to how much sun the spot actually gets. Moisture-loving plants in the desert? A palm that won't survive a cold-zone winter? The Advisor flags it.
What you get for free:
• 1 property with 5 zones and up to 5 plants per zone
• 10 plant identification scans to try the ID feature
• 10 AI Garden Advisor tips per day

Your data syncs automatically via iCloud, so your garden is always with you whether you're at the nursery, in the yard, or on the couch planning your next season.
GardenKeeper is built for gardeners who want a simple, beautiful way to remember what they planted, get smart advice on caring for it, and watch their garden grow.
What's new (v1.7)
Here's a "What's New" that leads with the headline feature and keeps the tone user-facing (well under the 4,000-char limit):
Introducing the AI Garden Advisor
Your garden just got a green-thumbed assistant. Open any zone, tap Tips, and get advice tailored to the exact plants growing there:
• A watering schedule and fertilizer guidance for the whole zone
• A practical maintenance checklist
• Complementary plants worth adding — and why they pair well
• Winter protection alerts for tender plants, like lifting canna bulbs or wrapping a windmill palm before frost
Make it smarter with a little context:
• Add a location to your property (like "Phoenix, AZ" or "USDA zone 9b") and advice becomes climate- and hardiness-aware
• Set each zone's sun exposure (Full Sun, Sun/Shade Mix, or Shade) and note its conditions (clay soil, stays damp, windy)
With those details, the Advisor recommends plants that will actually thrive in your spot — and flags the ones that won't, whether that's a moisture-lover in the desert or a palm that can't survive a cold-zone winter.
Free gardeners get 10 Advisor tips per day. Pro unlocks 50 per day.
