How it works
A quiet loop, one week at a time.
Our Patch is not a library of gardening content. It is a weekly ritual: one briefing, written for your garden, that learns from what actually happened.
1. Your place
Type your town. You get a climate read-back that should sound recognisably like where you live — your mornings, your frost, your growing region — not a national average. If it doesn’t sound right, that’s the product failing, and we want to know.
2. Your beds
Photograph each bed, standing in the yard. The app makes a guess at what’s growing, then asks you to confirm or remove each plant before the plan uses it. The guess is a starting point — you stay in control of what the app believes is in the ground.
3. Your week
Every Thursday, a briefing arrives: the jobs that matter this week, bed by bed, with one clear priority — the single thing most worth doing if that’s all the weekend allows. Sowing suggestions stay inside the real window for your area, and watch-outs are local nudges, not generic calendar dates.
4. Your household
One garden, one plan. Share the briefing with the person who shares the garden — you both see the same list, tick the same jobs, and start next week from the same place.
5. Next Thursday
Tick what got done. What slipped comes back first in the next briefing, so the plan always reflects the garden you actually have — not the garden a chart assumes.
A national chart knows the month.
A forum thread knows someone else’s yard.
A generic AI answer knows what usually gets said.
Our Patch knows your town, your beds, and what got done last week.
Where the advice comes from
The guidance is grounded in reviewed local planting knowledge for your growing region — prepared and checked before an area opens, not recalled on the fly. AI does the assembling: reading your beds, your history and the local calendar, and writing the week in plain English. It is guidance, not a diagnosis or a guarantee.
Your photos and location are used to plan your garden. Nothing else.
