About The Project

The idea to build Gardener was spawned through watching a real-world scenario of a home gardener building a schedule in googlesheets to manage his garden filled with over 50 different plants. There are many websites filled with information on what people should grow and when they should sow their seeds, but no one-stop-shop to help gardeners to maintain their plants and provide proactive reminders on tasks that need to be undertaken throughout the year.
