Plan your beds, log what you do, and remember every season.
Everything in one place
The garden notebook you wish you'd kept since the start.
Garden Stride brings your beds, plants, weather, and habits together — so you can look back on a season and see what actually happened, not what you meant to do.
Plant library
Common name and latin, tags and rank, days to harvest, notes, and a reference image — searchable across plants, varieties, and cultivars.
Activity log
One tap to log water, fertilize, prune, harvest, pest, transplant, sow, or just a note. Filter by activity, undo a mistake.
Schedules
Cadence-based schedules grouped into Today, Coming up, and Later. Snooze, skip a round, or push the next date — no red-badge nagging.
Weather-aware
A 7-day forecast with past and upcoming rainfall, plus plain-language watering advice — water, maybe, or skip.
Harvest tracking
Weigh and log every pull. Watch your weekly and seasonal yield by plant, by bed, or across the whole garden.
Verified reviews · household sample size
Endorsed by three, completely unbiased people not obligated to like it.
Garden Stride just launched, so real reviews are still trickling in. While they do, here's the household — three thoroughly biased reviewers, who may or may not have actually used the app.
He made it himself. I'm not entirely sure what it does, but I shared it on Facebook.
Did you finish that plant thing yet?
Is this like Plants vs. Zombies? Do you have to spend Robux?
Try it out and let me know what you think so I can replace these with real ones.
The bed planner
Plan your garden the way it actually grows.
Garden Stride treats your plot like graph paper — fluid beds at any size or angle, plants placed at real spacing, paths and features in their actual spots. Drag, resize, drop. Your map matches the dirt.
- Beds at any size — no rigid templates
- Plants placed at real spacing, in real cells
- Features for paths, trellises, compost bins
- Multiple gardens, switch in a tap

How it works
From bare bed to first harvest, in one place.
- 01
Lay out your garden
Add a bed in seconds and place plants on a flexible grid. Multiple gardens, easy to redraw season to season.
- 02
Tend it
Tap to water, fertilize, prune, harvest. Smart reminders nudge you only when the weather agrees.
- 03
Look back
See what bloomed, what sulked, and what to plant earlier next year. Your seasons compound.
What it does that a notebook can't
Reminders that watch the sky and remember the season.
Watering pauses when it rains. Frost alerts land before sundown, not at 4am. And last year's dates and weights are right there when you plan again.
Tuesday · 7:14a
It rained overnight.
Watering paused
0.62″ rain in last 24h
Water tomato bed skipped
Garden Stride saw the rainfall and paused today's water tasks. Soil moisture is logged for next week's plan. You don't drown the seedlings, and you don't get pinged for a chore the weather already handled.
Thursday · 38° low
First frost incoming.
Cover the peppers
Center bed · 4 plants
low 38°F sundown 6:43p zone 7a
When the forecast threatens your tenderest plants, a cover-up task lands ahead of sundown — not a 4am alert when it's already too late. Your peppers see another two weeks.

Every planting keeps its dates, weights, and notes. Pull up the Sungold in seconds — when you sowed, when you first harvested, how much you actually pulled. Plan with reality, not memory.
Questions, answered honestly
Frequently asked.
Is it really free?
Yes. The planner, plant library, activity log, smart reminders, and weather are all free to use — no monthly fee, no upsell.
When does it launch?
It is being built openly. Sign up and you will get access as soon as the first stable build ships — and updates as features land.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Garden Stride is a web app designed mobile-first — it works in any modern phone or tablet browser, and you can add it to your home screen.
Will my garden data stay mine?
Always. Export at any time. We will never sell your data, and the privacy policy will say so plainly.
Do I need to know my hardiness zone?
No. Add your location and Garden Stride looks it up. Forecast, sun hours, and zone-aware advice come for free.
What if I just want a notebook?
That works too. The activity log on its own is enough to track water, harvest, and notes. Use as much or as little as you want.
