Plant Recommendations Backed by Science Without Bias

The number one question asked of garden centers and experienced gardeners is “can you recommend plants for my yard”. This is not an easy question to answer. A thoughtful response must consider many factors such as the climatic conditions of the planting location, sunlight, moisture and soil, but also the style and desired features of the plant. Our ‘Suggest a Plant’ feature uses cutting edge data science in response to your input to recommend plants that will best meet your needs.
