How it works

Three layers of garden intelligence

01

The Phenology Calendar

Built automatically from your iPhone photo library. Every flower photo becomes a data point: plant, color, bloom state, location, date. Year over year, the calendar builds a longitudinal record of your garden’s rhythm — bloom shifts, gap patterns, peak months.

02

Garden Intelligence

A structured model of your plots — their light, soil, and microclimate. Garden Journal learns your garden’s actual conditions, your hardiness zone, and your aesthetic style. It holds all of this context so advice is always grounded in your specific situation.

03

The Advisor

Plant recommendations that reason across everything Garden Journal knows: your bloom gaps, companion relationships, color palette, height layering, zone hardiness, and aesthetic style. Not generic lists — plants chosen for your garden’s gaps and your taste.

“You have a gap in late August in the Back Border. Here are six plants that would fill it — and look good with what’s already there.”
