About Garden Guru
Garden Guru is an intelligent gardening tool designed to act as your garden's personalized weekly to-do list. While standard gardening applications often stop at the broad species level, Garden Guru drills down into the specific variety of your plants—where expert advice truly matters.
For example, instead of giving generic advice like "water occasionally" for catmint, telling Garden Guru that you planted the "Walker's Low" variety allows the system to schedule a precise late-June shear-back to trigger a second bloom, all dynamically timed to your local frost dates. The platform offers the same depth of care for vegetables.
Key capabilities include frost warnings that specifically name your vulnerable plants and a photo-recognition feature that lets you snap a picture of a weed to receive a complete, actionable removal plan rather than just a basic identification. Users can easily test out the platform for free without even needing to create an account.
