The Flower Dad

Your garden has a story.

This is where you tell it. Track what's blooming, what you planted, what needs attention — and watch your garden get smarter every week.

A pulse is a moment in your garden.

A photo of your first tuber. A note that your dahlias are finally popping. A quick log that you staked the back row. Short or long, photo or words — it all counts.

The magic is in the history.

Gardens have short memories. Gardeners do too. The more you log, the smarter your predictions get — bloom windows, care reminders, patterns you'd never spot on your own.

There it is.

Your first pulse. Every bloom, every note, every photo you add lives here — a record your future self will thank you for.

Your whole season, at a glance.

Bloom windows, care reminders, what you planted and when — it all maps here. The more you log, the more your calendar fills in on its own.

Your plant roster builds itself.

Every variety you mention in a pulse gets added here. Over time this becomes your personal catalog — what you grow, what thrives, what you want more of.

Welcome. Your garden is ready.

Log often — the more you share, the smarter it gets. Your garden is already listening.

📍 We'll ask for your location to quietly log weather conditions with every pulse — frost dates, heat waves, rainfall patterns. Over time it becomes part of your garden's story.

Journal a Pulse

The Log tab is your garden diary. Log what you did, what you observed, what you planted or harvested. Mention plants by name and add photos. The more you log, the smarter your garden gets.

🌿

Home — What Needs Doing

Your Home screen reads your journal history and surfaces specific tasks for the week — based only on what you've actually logged. Tap Pulse it to log the action, Done to check it off, or Remind me later to snooze it.

🌱

Your Plant Roster

Tap Plants in the bottom nav to see your full dahlia roster. Dahlias are organized by variety with ADS classification details — form, size, color group, and bloom size. Varieties are added automatically when you mention them in a pulse. Tap any plant to see its full journal history and cultivar card.

🌾

The Field

Design your field before you plant. Map out rows and slots, assign varieties, and track each plant's stage — Potted, Planted, Blooming, Dug Up, or Dead. Find it under More → The Field.

✨

Garden AI

Tap Garden AI in the bottom nav to ask your garden anything — "when did my dinnerplate dahlias start blooming?", "which varieties did best last season?", "what should I focus on this week?". It searches your entire journal to answer.

🗓️

Calendar

Tap Calendar in the bottom nav to see your garden across time. Switch between Season view (current year by month) and History view (all years at a glance). Tap any date to see what you logged. Toggle Smart View to layer bloom, task, and watch indicators onto the monthly grid. Filter by plants or activities using the chips at the top. Tap 🌿 Garden View for an animated visual of your full bloom season.

🌱

Season

Find Activities under More. See a timeline of everything you've done — planting, cutting, dividing, propagating, harvesting — filtered by type. Great for tracking care routines and seasonal patterns.

✨

Insights

Find Insights under More. See patterns across your whole garden — most-mentioned plants, busiest months, activity breakdowns. The longer you journal, the richer your insights get.
