Add your plant
Create a record for a real houseplant so its care stays organised in one place.
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 in development for iPhone and Android.

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.
Meet its resident
Your plant appears in the garden as a species-recognisable resident, without cartoon faces or distracting gamification.
Keep up with care
Use reminders and simple care interactions to keep track of watering and routine maintenance.
Your collection, in one place
Visit your plants instead of managing a list.
The garden is the heart of Gardenfolk. Each real plant has its own place, so your collection becomes something you can recognise at a glance rather than another database to maintain.
- Every real plant becomes a resident.
- Species stay visually recognisable.
- Care information remains practical and accessible.
- No faces, points or noisy game mechanics.
Meet the residents
Your plants still look like your plants.
Gardenfolk gives each species character through its natural shape, posture and presentation. The plants remain recognisable rather than becoming cartoon characters.
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.
