FloreSage — Garden planner, soil diagnosis & shared gardens app

A garden is better with two.

You don't need to be an expert. You need someone who watches you garden, remembers what you've planted, and gives you a gentle nudge when it's time to mulch, water, or harvest before it's too late.

— That's my job. I'll look after you.

What I do for you

Everything your garden needs,
all in one place.

No three apps, no notebook you'll lose, no ten contradictory tutorials online. Just you, your garden, and me.

I help you plan your garden

Tell me your region, your climate, your soil, your aspect.
I'll narrow down the plants that stand a real chance with you — vegetables, fruit trees, herbs, flowers, ornamentals.
On the emblematic species — tomato, courgette, runner bean, lettuce, strawberry… — I show you the named varieties worth knowing: earliness, habit, frost resistance, culinary use. So you can pick the one that suits you.
You fine-tune with rich filters: variety, flower colour, harvest window, height, soil type, watering needs.
Once you've chosen, I take it from there.

I read your soil

No need to send a sample to a lab: just look at what already grows wild around you.
You tick the wild plants you spot — nettle, dandelion, chickweed, horsetail — and I translate what they reveal.
Acidic, compacted, rich, chalky, free-draining: your soil speaks, you only need to listen.
And I sort your recommendations by what your soil actually likes.

I keep your schedule

For every plant, I know the full cycle: sowing, potting on, mulching, pruning, feeding, harvesting.
I turn all of it into small tasks lined up on your calendar — daily, weekly, monthly.
Late tasks rise to the top, the ones that can wait quietly slip down.
You tick things off, I adjust. No pressure, no guilt.

I follow your seasons

I pull in the local weather for each of your gardens.
If a frost is on the way, I warn you in time so you can cover up.
I know spring in Provence isn't spring in Brittany — I shift the sowings, bring the mulching forward, remind you to protect, all according to your real spot.
You garden with the climate, not against it.

Together, if you fancy

Invite anyone you like onto your gardens: family, neighbours, fellow volunteers.
Everyone keeps their own account, their notifications, their own task list.
Assignments go in blocks — who's watering this week, who's minding the greenhouse this month, who takes the autumn harvest. Not task by task: you plan a whole season ahead.
Designed for community gardens, where you need to know six months out who does what. A feature still rare elsewhere.

Good neighbours, and the ones you'd rather skip

Tomatoes love basil and marigolds, can't stand fennel. Carrots get on with leeks, but not dill.
I carry 330+ sourced plant companions: why it works, where to place them, what to maintain, and the classic pitfalls.
When you're composing your patch, I flag the plants that help each other — and the ones that hold each other back.
Not folklore: every pairing points back to verifiable botanical references.

We can have a chat

A yellowing leaf, a doubt about a variety, an idea you're not sure how to start?
I already know your garden, your plants, your region — so my answer comes with your context built in.
Not like a generic search engine that knows nothing about you.
And if the answer is already in my own knowledge, I don't even call the AI. Quicker, and lighter on the planet.

Personalisation

No two gardens
are the same.

Mine isn't either. That's why I'll never serve you ready-made advice: I tailor everything to your garden, not some average one.

✓
Your soil, your climate Clay, sand, chalk? Mild region or harsh winters? Tell me once, and I'll remember it for good.
✓
Your own plants You decide what grows with you. No generic lists — I work with your real garden, bed by bed.
✓
Several gardens, several gardeners The family vegetable patch, the flat's balcony, the community plot: up to 10 gardens per account, each with its own soil, climate, goals and collaborators. Switch between them via the selector at the top.
✓
A pace that suits you Going on holiday? Skipping a week? We pick up where we left off. No pressure, no guilt.

My garden in FloreSage: plants, beds, conditions

Sober · light-touch

Sober by design.

I only call on AI when it's genuinely useful. The rest comes from a knowledge base curated by hand, plant by plant. Quicker, more accurate, and far lighter on the planet.

A knowledge base written by hand

When to sow, how to prune, how far apart to plant: those answers come from a real plant file. No AI, no hallucinations.

AI only when it earns its keep

A yellowing leaf, a question off the file, an unusual case? Then yes, I'll go and ask. But not to rehash what's already written down.

Built with the planet in mind

Less compute means less energy. A modest habit that adds up at scale. The garden invites us to be consistent — so we are.

Inside the app

Made for the patch.

An interface you can read with one hand, outside, with mud on your fingers. Calm, legible, and there whenever you need it.

Today's tasks, right at hand

Everything about a plant

Your garden, the way you imagined it

You're wondering…

The questions I get most often.

Do I have to pay to use you?

No, the app is free. If you want to ask me more questions per day or unlock advanced features, there's a Flore+ plan — but you don't need it for the essentials.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a small account (Sign in with Apple or email) is needed — that's how I find your gardens again when you switch device, and how I keep your data safe.

Can I run several gardens?

Yes — up to 10 gardens per account. The family vegetable patch, the balcony, the terrace, the community plot: each one with its own soil, climate, goals and plants. You can share each garden separately with family, neighbours, or fellow volunteers, and you can delete a garden any time (archived for 30 days before permanent purge).

Does my data stay private?

Yes. It lives on European servers (GDPR), never sold, never used for ads. I make my living from gardeners' support, not from their data.

Soil diagnosis from wild plants — is that for real?

Very real. It's the method of French botanist Gérard Ducerf: every wild plant is a bio-indicator of what its soil likes. Nettle = nitrogen-rich, horsetail = damp and acidic, dandelion = compacted, chickweed = balanced. You tick what you see growing around you, I translate. No lab, no test kit — just your eyes and your patch of garden.

Do you speak other languages?

Yes — French, English, and Spanish. Interface, schedules, plant cards, and even our chats: everything follows the language you choose.

What if there's no signal at the bottom of the garden?

No bother. You can browse your plants, your tasks and the whole nursery offline. Sync catches up on its own as soon as you're back on Wi-Fi.

Do you work on iPad?

Yes — iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 minimum). An Android version is being looked at — promise, I'll keep you posted.

An encyclopaedia that knows you

Everything in one place, tuned to your patch

No more running between the weather app, the forum, the YouTube tutorial and the borrowed book.

A real encyclopaedia, that only serves what concerns you.

Nursery: 370+ plants From north to south, from veg patch to ornamental: how I pick and rank plants for your real garden. Soil diagnosis Read your soil in five minutes, free, through bio-indicator plants. The botanist method applied to the garden. Plan your vegetable garden A step-by-step method, from soil to harvest calendar. Sowing calendar What to sow when, depending on your region and climate — and why a fixed calendar won't cut it. Shared garden Family, neighbourhood, community: what to set up early so it lasts.
