I moved 11 times in 30 years.
Every move meant learning a new yard from scratch — new soil, new weather, new seasons, new plants that thrived or failed. Just as I'd finally learn a place's rhythm — what to plant, when to prune, when to feed, what to skip — it was time to start over somewhere new.
For years I thought there had to be an easier way.
That thought stayed with me as I began using AI for something far more serious: researching new drugs and therapies for lung disease. The work pulled me deeper in — I built a home AI lab and started working with AI agents — and I realized these tools could solve everyday problems too.
Including the one I'd carried for decades: how do you know what your own yard needs, month by month, where you actually live?
So I built GardenCal. Tell it where you live and what you grow — or want to grow — and it turns that into a personalized 12-month care calendar, tuned to your plants and your growing zone.
It's the gardening helper I wish I'd had every time I started over.
Botanical prints, seed-packet kits, and more are on the way. Join the waitlist above and you'll be the first to hear when the shop opens.
We're in the final stretch and putting the finishing touches on the iPhone app. Join the waitlist and you'll get an email the day it's available.
Your whole yard — flowers, shrubs, trees, perennials, vegetables, and container plants. If you grow it, GardenCal can build a care schedule for it.
You can try your first month free. Unlocking the full 12-month calendar is a one-time $3.99 purchase — no subscription.
