Trust
The garden app that tells you when it’s not sure.
Plant advice is easy to sell with certainty and hard to deliver with it. Gardn is built the other way round: it tells you what it can see, what it knows about your garden, and — when the honest answer is “not sure” — it says so. This page sets out the promises we hold ourselves to.
“Not sure” is an answer we let the app give. Most apps don’t.
Honest answers
It says when it’s not sure.
When the AI isn’t confident about a plant or a photo, Gardn tells you so rather than guessing. A guess dressed up as a fact is worse than no answer, because you’d act on it — water the wrong thing, prune at the wrong time, worry about the wrong pest.
So the app is allowed to hedge, to offer two candidates instead of one, and to say “not sure” outright. That costs a little polish. It buys answers you can act on.
Safety
The safety layer is checked by hand.
Around seventy of the highest-risk garden plants carry a hand-curated toxicity warning in the app today — with separate warnings for dogs, cats and children, because what’s dangerous to one isn’t always dangerous to the others. That list is written and checked by people, not generated on the fly.
And eating advice never comes from an AI guess: the only edibility notes in Gardn come from that same hand-checked list — the AI doesn’t improvise “probably fine” or “generally considered edible”, and where anything has been treated or is uncertain, the app says check first. If you want to eat anything from your garden, confirm it with a human expert — every time.
Health checks
Guidance, not a diagnosis.
A health check describes what the AI can see in your photo — the discolouration, the pattern on a leaf, the state of new growth — and suggests sensible next steps. It is guidance, not a diagnosis.
When something looks serious or unclear, the right next step is often a person: a good nursery, an experienced neighbour, or a vet if a pet has been chewing something it shouldn’t. Gardn will point you that way rather than pretend a photo settles it.
Your data
Your garden data is yours.
Your garden record belongs to you. Research use of garden data happens only with your explicit consent — a toggle in Settings, version-stamped so there is a record of exactly what wording you agreed to and when. You can change your mind whenever you like.
The detail lives in the privacy policy, written to be read rather than skimmed past.
Community
Communities you can do something about.
Every community space in Gardn — Neighbourhood, Friends and Groups — includes report and block tools, in every region we support. If someone spoils a corner of it, you can act on it there and then, and so can we.
