I built a garden app that tells you what to *do* for each plant (not just ID it) — for my wife's garden

Showcase: Free(mium)

My wife has a beautiful perennial garden and every plant wants something different — when to prune, feed, divide, or leave alone. Every plant app I tried just identified plants; none told her what to actually do, and when.

So I built Garden Guru. You tell it your closest city + the variety you planted, and it generates a care schedule tuned to your USDA hardiness zone and that exact cultivar, then reminds you what's due. It also does snap-a-plant ID + diagnosis, a bed designer, and frost/heat alerts.

Built it mostly with AI tools over a couple months (prototyped in Lovable/Magic Patterns, built + shipped with Claude Code). Just launched on the App Store today; it's free on the web.

Would genuinely love a roast — especially the onboarding and whether the care advice feels right for your zone. 🌱
