Top Gardening and Plant Apps

We love our technology! 
Both Keri and I are hard-core Apple users and enjoy the pomp, circumstance and gadgetry involved! 
But we also love the simpler life like gardening, farming and Chickenry. (Yes, that is now a word)

So to help all you wonderful peeps out there who also love both sides of being a Techie Outdoorsman, these Apps are for you!


Top Herb, Gardening and Plant Identification Apps




About Herbs
$ - Free
Memorial Sloan Kettering Center
This App gives you images, common and Latin names of all edible plants. Its extremely easy to use, and list it all alphabetically. More than 200 plants to choose from, this is the most integrative app I've ever used.












Pl@ntNet

Cirad-France
This is an image sharing and retrieval app for the identification of plants. You can take your own picture and upload it - this app helps you identify those pesky perennials (or weeds) from previous owners. 










Garden Compass

Garden Compass LLC
Take a picture of a flower, plant or pest problem, they then take it and pass it along to their "experts" to help you identify your plant or issue. You can also set up a Garden Care Calendar where their experts will also help you manage your garden!










Garden Plan Pro
$10.99 cnd
Growing Interactive
This is the #1 app for garden planning in our opinion. You can measure out your plot, or yard, enter in the measurements and use their database to add plants and/or landscaping.
Well worth the $11.


WildCard App

So - ever wonder where all the Farmers Markets are in your area? Wonder no more! This app will pin-point exactly where those markets are, maps them out and even give you dates they run.
