FieldGuide - Native Plants

Know your land. Protect your ecosystem.

Most plant identifier apps tell you what a plant is, but they don’t tell you the most important thing: Does it belong here?

FieldGuide: Native Plants is an intelligent field companion and gamified botanical journal designed to connect you with your local ecosystem. With instant regional classification across 70+ countries and territories, FieldGuide shows you whether a plant is Native, Introduced, or an aggressive Invasive threatening local biodiversity.

Whether you're hiking backcountry trails, gardening with pollinator-friendly species, or walking through your neighborhood, FieldGuide turns every outdoor stroll into a rewarding ecological adventure.

• Unlock Native Seeds: Scan and identify real native plants in the wild to unlock their seeds for your virtual bench.
• Daily Botanical Care: Tend your three terracotta pots once a day and watch plants progress through 5 realistic growth stages—from cotyledon sprout to full pollinator bloom.
