PlantStory

PlantStory is a free, open-source journal and beginner-friendly care companion for the plants you grow and the ones you discover along the way.

Build a personal garden filled with photos, notes, care history, reminders, and memories. Record watering and fertilizing, plan care for every season, and watch each plant’s story unfold through its visual timeline.
