Garden intelligence

A garden you know how to look after.

Show HoWA what's growing, what you like and what needs help. It gets to know the plants and spaces in your garden, then plans the care around the conditions and the time you have.

Garden Scan: a garden read and planned, with the HoWA sketch drawn over it.

Know the plants

Photograph a plant to identify it. Confirm the result, place it in its border or pot and get help with its care. Save plants you like as favourites for a future design.

Work through a problem

Show HoWA the damaged leaves or struggling growth. It considers the symptoms, growing conditions and recent care, suggests what to check and follows up so you can see how the plant responds.

Care that follows the conditions

HoWA brings local weather into the garden plan. A relevant frost forecast can prompt a check on a vulnerable plant; a change in conditions can alter the timing of a job. The plan stays grounded in your garden.

Grow the garden you want

Keep the plants and ideas you love. Explore whether they suit your light, soil and space, develop a design and find the plants and products for it. When something is planted, it becomes part of the ongoing care.

Bring in a gardener

Ask for help with the work you want done. HoWA brings the relevant garden details into the request and returns the gardener's replies, updates and shared visit photos to you.

What is growing

Established lawn, mixed shrub borders and a young multi-stem tree, with a paved dining terrace.

Seasonal priorities

Lift and divide bordersAutumn lawn feedMulch the beds

The plan

  • Relieve the congested borders and re-space for year-round structure.
  • A seasonal care rhythm that keeps the lawn and beds ahead of the weather.
  • Protect the young tree through its establishing years.
  • A named gardener confirms scope and price on a visit.

Photo guidance is an initial interpretation. A gardener or designer confirms conditions, the work required and the price where needed.

Use the time you have

An hour each weekend or a little through the week: tell HoWA what works for you. Your Garden Year prioritises the care and adjusts as you complete, postpone or hand over jobs.
