Quick start guide
Great – you found Gardenize – The App for you and your garden!
Here is a short guide to help you get you started.
The first time you openGardenize you get a short intro with a few screens. Swipe through them to get a feeling of what you can use Gardenize for.
As it looks a bit dull, I propose you quickly get started by adding your first plant. You do that by clicking the button with the “+” sign in the lower right corner and choose ”NEW PLANT”.
Now, click on the camera symbol, and take a picture of a plant, or pick a photo of a plant from your own photo gallery.
Write the plant name and variety. Continue to add information according to your needs.
To save the new plant, click the Tic mark in the top right corner.
On the event tab of the plant you will see events when you start adding them (see step 3).
On the needs tab you see caring instructions you have added.
You can always get back and edit and add the plant information and add more photos by clicking the pen symbol.
To add an area, click on the green button with the plus sign again, and choose ”NEW AREA”.
You can add any kind garden areas, outdoor as well as indoor.
Or you can create an area to add plants that you want to have in the future called e.g. “My Dream Border”.
Now add photos and information about the area.
- Take a photo/pick one from the gallery
- Name the Area and add information that is important to you
- Add plants from your plant library that grows in the area
Save by clicking the Tic mark.
Your area could look something like this when you finished editing.

Continue to build up your digital garden by adding areas and plants.
A really great feature in Gardenize is that you can draw on a photo to mark where you have planted or seeded something.
Click on the pen to open edit mode and then on the photo. Use the draw function and click next to add information about what different colors mean.
Once you have started to build your Plant and Area libraries, you can start to note garden events and activities.
Add things when you do something, such as plant, water, seed and harvest. Or you can add weather observations or notions and photos of plant´s development.
To add an event of activity, click on the green button with the plus sign and choose ”NEW EVENT”.
Now describe the event:
