FAQ

Got questions? We have answers!

Does it take long to set up?

By answering a few questions, My Garden will figure out what your space looks like and what conditions you are working with. That way your setup will match your personal situation. For example, it’ll help you know where sun reaches to decide where to plant those partial-shade tomatoes.

Do I need to install a program?

My Garden works within a browser. So as long as you can open a site like this one, you can access the app.

How do I get reminders?

While logged into My Gardener, you’ll see a notification icon and can view a message that your garden needs attention. Horticulturalist subscribers will get a detailed explanation with what to do and how to get help.

Who are my neighbors?

Neighbors are fellow My Garden users within a certain distance of your garden location. You can save neighbors that you like visiting and can refresh to find new neighbors you haven’t met yet.

How do I find a specific item in stores?

Ask your garden helper for help locating a certain item and local recommendations will be provided to you. Participating stores may even offer you coupons for going to them!
