Yep. There’s an app for that.
Here’s our favorite gardening apps for your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
Best of all, they’re free.
iMyGarden
You’ll love this design tool. Create a realistic garden bed using your own photo or one of their templates, select from 200 bulbs, and watch them grow.
Plant Picker Lite
Take pictures throughout the day of your garden bed or indoor spot, and Plant Picker will measure your sunlight and recommend plants for our hardiness zone. How cool is that? (Your device must have a camera.)
Eden Garden Designer
An extensive plant encyclopedia from which you can design your garden.
WaterMe
Can’t remember when you need to water or fertilize next? This app will remind you when each plant is due.
Mulch Tools
Calculate how much mulch you’ll need and view different color mulches.
helloflower
This app serves no gardening purpose whatsoever except to make the gardener peacefully happy while creating beautiful 3D flowers. One of the most gorgeous apps.
Flowers Slider Puzzle
Remember those 9-tile slider puzzles? Here’s one with flowers. If 9 tiles aren’t enough of a challenge, you can set it for 16 tiles.
Slide Puzzle Free Flower Puzzle
Another flower slider puzzle, but with 30 small tiles, sure to keep your mind off garden pests or just drive you buggy. There’s a ‘peek’ button if you get lost… which you will.
