FAQ

Garden Answers is a popular and easy-to-use app for gardeners of any experience. Even though the design may seem outdated, their identification system works well. However, if you prefer features like a watering calculator or care tips, other applications, such as PlanIn, could be a better solution.

You can use Garden Answers for free, but this version has ads, and you may receive their weekly marketing messages. For an ad-free experience, you can buy the premium plan, which costs $4.99 per year. The “Ask a Horticulturist” service costs $1.99 for each question.

Plant identification is Garden Answers’ primary focus. It works like other similar apps; you take a picture of the desired plant or use a photo from your device, and in a few seconds, you’ll see the result. The app also allows you to contact an expert for an additional fee.
