About the Project
GreenSpace was built for gardeners who want more than a notepad. Whether you're managing a small back garden or a shared allotment, it gives you a single place to plan your layout visually, track what's growing, and stay on top of care routines — all without the complexity of enterprise gardening software.
The interactive garden map lets you drag and drop plant markers onto a scaled grid so you can see your space at a glance. The AI advisor, powered by Google Gemini, analyses the plant you're looking at and suggests a practical care schedule you can add to your task diary in one click.
Key Features
