Gardenize: Garden & Plant care v6.5.0

Gardenize replaces the notebook (and the muddy plant tags) with a proper garden journal on your phone. You add your plants — either from a 45,000-species database or with the photo-based PlantID tool — and the app helps you keep track of all of them.

Set reminders for watering, fertilizing, repotting and more, and organize your plants into indoor or outdoor areas. You can log activities as events, keep to-do and wishlist lists, and filter everything — say, all your tomatoes, or where you planted the carrots.

It's best for gardeners who have moved past a handful of pots and need real organization, from hobbyists to professionals. There's a community feed for inspiration, a chat to share knowledge, and you can even draw on your plant photos to mark where bulbs went in.

Practical notes: free to download and use with basic features; Gardenize Plus (with a free 14-day trial) unlocks recurring reminders, photo annotation, multi-photo entries and spreadsheet export. Available in eight languages. 39 MB.
