• What grows well in your area? What grows well together? Where and when do I plant things?
• The questions go on...

• The long term goal is to create community, more features and expand the product to help as many people as possible!

2. Our algorithms match potential plants that could work well together in the user's garden bed and geographical location
3. Users can see several of suggestions
4. Users can connect with other gardeners in their local community, or anywhere.
