Why register a plant?
A better garden journal
Track what you planted, when it bloomed, what worked and what didn't. Your records build over the seasons and you can share the parts you want with other growers.
Build a connection between gardens
Find growers nearby, join local clubs, and share what you're growing. The plants in your garden become a way to meet the people growing the same things down the street.
A permanent OHT-ID and QR label
Every plant gets a unique ID that travels with its seed and cuttings. Print a QR label for the pot — your future self (and anyone you share with) can pull up the whole history.
Lineage you can pass on
Link parents and children to build a family tree. When you save seed and share it, the next grower picks up where you left off.
Share, trade, or sell what you grow
Send seeds and cuttings to friends, list extras for trade, or sell what you've propagated. Buyers see the lineage and your growing notes — they know the story behind their plant.
Contribute to plant research
Researchers studying climate adaptation, disease resistance, and plant breeding need real-world data from real gardens. Share what you're growing and help science get better answers.
What you can register
Anything you grow from seed, cutting, division, or graft. Heirloom tomatoes, fruit trees, garlic, peppers, figs, dahlias — known varieties and your own crosses alike. Each plant you register adds another data point to what works in real gardens.
