A houseplant care companion for iPhone

Your plants, gathered in one small magical garden.

Gardenfolk helps you remember the practical care your real plants need, then gives each one a place to live inside a warm, painterly garden.

Gardenfolk is currently in development.

Plant care with a sense of place

Every real plant becomes a Gardenfolk resident.

Gardenfolk is not a virtual gardening game. You add the houseplants you actually own. Each one becomes a recognisable resident in your garden, with its own place and its own care information.

01

Add your plant

Create a record for a real houseplant so its care stays organised in one place.

02

Meet its resident

Your plant appears in the garden as a species-recognisable resident, without cartoon faces or distracting gamification.

03

Keep up with care

Use reminders and simple care interactions to keep track of watering and routine maintenance.

Useful first, whimsical second

A garden that makes routine care easier to remember.

The magical presentation exists to support real maintenance, not hide it. Gardenfolk is designed to keep practical information readable while making your collection feel more personal and memorable.

  • Real plants remain identifiable as their species.
  • Care actions stay clear and quick on iPhone.
  • The garden remains calm instead of filling up with noisy UI.

Simple plant-care guidance

A few habits matter more than complicated routines.

Gardenfolk will help you stay organised, but good care still starts with observing the plant in front of you.

Check the soil, not just the calendar

Watering intervals vary with season, light, pot size and temperature. Check the soil before watering instead of assuming every reminder is an instruction to add water immediately.

Light usually matters first

If a plant is struggling, assess its light before reaching for more water or fertiliser. Many common houseplant problems begin with a mismatch between the plant and its position.

Watch for change

Drooping, yellowing, slowed growth and damaged leaves are signals, not diagnoses. Compare them with recent changes in watering, light, temperature and pests.

Gardenfolk provides general plant-care guidance. Species needs and home conditions vary, so use the app alongside direct observation of your plant.

A quieter way to keep track
