PlantTAGG: Plant Health & Care

I’m in the backyard today with the kids and we’re “PlantTagging” all the weeds before we mow. We are finding wildflowers, medicinal plants, stray garden plants, and some dandelions to make wine. This is a free app that does a thorough job of identifying and explaining the plants that I photograph. I choose pictures from the photo gallery, or just snap a picture on my camera, and follow the app prompts. I haven’t found a better app for identifying plants. If you use this at a nursery with the PlantTagg system you get all the info you need to know about how, when, and where to plant the item you are considering for the garden.

PlantTagg is the “go-to” app for all of my gardening needs! Not only do I use it to identify mysterious plants, but I can immediately see a profile that tells all about the plant’s specific requirements and where it will thrive! PlantTagg reminds me of tasks that must be accomplished to ensure the health of each plant in my yard and exactly when I need to do them. Additionally, PlantTagg allows me to search creative garden design plans for inspiration, and there are blogs written by other experienced gardeners to share their expertise. Once you use PlantTagg, you’ll wonder what you ever did without it! Dotti Franz, Dallas County Master Gardener

PlantTAGG has been a great help in creating yard zones and 2 landscape designs. I have used the landscape feature to create a garden by my mailbox and a small shade garden. The design app was great in determine the amount of soil and mulch we would need and then we could switch out different plants. PlantTAGG is able to identify so many plants including weeds which has helped me in my woodland yard zone. I love the thrive score feature which has been instrumental in my garden selections. The thrive score rates the potential success of a plant in a certain yard zone based on sun, water, climate, etc. While I can adjust the water for the plants to thrive, the feature helps me determine if the plant is a right fit in my yard or a particular zone of my yard. I also make sure that I check the plant details which includes if a plant is toxic to dogs. As a beginner gardener, PlantTAGG has been a great app in helping me make educated garden decisions.
