Taking the guesswork out

of gardening.

How it started

Hi, I'm Lyn! I thought I knew gardens. I grew up in them - lush lawns, bursting borders, flowers that seemed to bloom just for us (thanks, Mum). But after a house renovation left my garden flattened to bare soil, I realised I had no idea where to start.

Armed with my consulting habits, I reached for Excel and PowerPoint. Big mistake. Planning a garden that actually works - in your space, with your sunlight, soil, and season - was harder than I expected. Nothing out there seemed to guide me without sending me into information overload. So… I built DearGarden.

And still growing…

We’re just getting started. This is version 1 - our seedling stage.

DearGarden is being shaped by the people who use it, every day. Your feedback, your garden wins, even your gardening disasters help us grow into something better. Tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you wish we’d add next. This is your garden sidekick, co-created with you.

Our Mission

To make gardening easier, smarter, and more satisfying

We believe everyone deserves a garden they love — without the stress, second-guessing, or endless Googling. DearGarden helps you choose plants that truly suit your space, map out your beds, and keep things thriving. The goal? Clarity, confidence, and a few more happy sighs as you look out the window.

A small crew with muddy boots and big plans

We’re a tiny but mighty team of garden lovers, tech tinkerers, and tea drinkers. We’ve swapped endless spreadsheets for clever planning tools and a friendly voice that actually makes sense.

Less overwhelm. More joy.

We get it — gardening can feel like a never-ending to-do list. But it doesn’t have to.

DearGarden exists to replace guilt (“I should have pruned last month”) with calm confidence. We believe in small, satisfying wins, and that progress is just as beautiful as perfection.
