A little help for the patch you love.

There’s always something happening in the garden. A tree putting on new growth, fruit beginning to swell, a dry afternoon too good to waste. You want to give your patch the care it deserves, without spending every spare minute working out what needs doing next.

Grovekeeper keeps that watch for you. It reads your weather and your plants, and puts the right job in front of you while there is still time to do it.

It catches the window before it passes.

You get on with your life. Grovekeeper keeps an eye on the forecast and your plants, and speaks up when there is a job worth doing and the weather to do it in.

Watches the forecast
It follows your local weather through the week and finds the window, like a dry Saturday to spray or a frost worth beating.
Ranks your week
The two or three jobs that matter come ranked, each with a plain why-now and the day to do it. You did not build the list. It did.
Nudges you in time
Your jobs have a place in the calendar, with reminders to help you make time for them when they’re due.
Sharpens as you grow
Put it right when it is wrong and the correction sticks, so the longer you grow with it, the better it knows your patch.

A few example reads. A photo starts the conversation; what you notice in the garden helps fill in the picture.

Mandarin leaves with yellowing between the veins, worst on the older leaves.

Mandarin #7

Grovekeeper’s read

Those yellow patches are worth a closer look. A note about recent feeding, a look at the drainage and a check of the older leaves can help narrow things down. Let’s start there before adding anything to the soil.

Check the symptoms and care history

Apple #3

Grovekeeper’s read

That’s a promising crop! Take a closer look at how the little apples are growing and how crowded the clusters are. It could be time to make a little room—your next look will help decide.

Inspect fruit development and crop load

New peach leaves puckered and reddened with the first signs of leaf curl.

Peach 'Golden Queen'

Grovekeeper’s read

These curled, reddish leaves could be leaf curl. Save a photo and note how much of the tree is affected. Before choosing a treatment, we’ll need to check the growth stage, any earlier sprays and the local product label.

Record the symptoms before choosing treatment

Organic, no-spray, or anything goes.

Tell Grovekeeper how you like to garden. Prefer to leave the sprays in the shed? Working towards an organic patch? Your approach helps shape the plan, from pruning and mulching to the next thing to keep an eye on. You can change it whenever you like.

Set it in seconds when you sign up, or from Settings whenever your approach changes.

Organic

Keep your organic approach at the heart of the plan, with a local label check before choosing a product.

No-spray

No sprays at all. Just pruning, sanitation, netting, traps and a watchful eye.

Low-spray / IPM

Spray only when it's truly warranted, and only the softest thing that does the job.

Conventional

Open to whatever works, and Grovekeeper still leads with the least-toxic option.

A little more than a garden notebook.

It knows the when, not just the what
Your plants, the season and the local forecast all have a part to play. Grovekeeper brings them together to help you spot a good moment to get outside.
Made for a morning in your patch
A few trees, a pair of secateurs and a cup of tea going cold. Grovekeeper helps you make the most of the time you have to tend your garden.
A garden memory that lends a hand
Your notes and photos become part of something useful: a growing record that helps shape the next week’s plan.

Questions before you start

How does GroveKeeper work out which garden jobs need doing this week?

It brings together the plants you’ve added, seasonal care guidance, local weather and the notes, photos and completed jobs in your garden record. Each planning run picks a short list of timely jobs and explains why they matter now. You decide what to do and record what gets done.

Does it adjust my plan for local weather and seasons?

Yes. When a plan runs, Grovekeeper checks your local forecast and the season for your hemisphere. It uses that information to time weather-sensitive jobs and reconsider existing work. It isn’t a continuously updating weather alert service. Check local approvals and the product label before using a treatment.

Is it suitable for my fruit trees and other garden plants?

Fruit trees and home orchards are where Grovekeeper started. You can also add roses, natives, hedges and other plants you tend through the seasons, with notes, photos and care history for each. The advice depends on the plant details and seasonal guidance available; it doesn’t promise specialist coverage for every species.

How much do I need to enter before I get a useful plan?

Start with your garden’s location, how you prefer to grow and a few trees or plants you want help with. You don’t need to catalogue the whole garden or upload a photo to get started. Plant names and maturity help make the advice relevant; add notes, photos and completed work as you go to give future plans more context.

What can I try for free, and what costs money?

Every new garden gets six full planning runs free, with no credit card needed. Sprout stays free for up to five trees, with notes, photos, a garden journal, three AI photo diagnoses a month and a monthly AI check-in after those first six runs. Cultivate is the paid subscription for ongoing weekly planning, unlimited trees and 50 AI photo diagnoses a month. See the pricing above for current web prices.

Can I use it on Android or iPhone?

Yes. Download the Android app from Google Play, or use Grovekeeper in your browser on iPhone or iPad and add it to your home screen. A native iOS app is on the way. You can also use the web app on your computer.
