Gardens and plant lists

An overview for all your plants in your garden. Add your backyard and your frontyard. Or record your plants for each border or planter. You decide how to arrange your gardens!

Besides gardens you can also keep track of plant lists. You can make a shopping list or a favorites list. Other possibilities are a list with shadow plants or a list of plants with a maximum height of 1 meter and blue flowers in the spring. You decide which lists you want.

There is a small difference between gardens and plant lists: for gardens there are additional options. At the moment there is a flowering calendar for gardens. In the future a garden map will be added also.
