Please do not send passwords, sign-in codes, payment details, or full garden addresses.

Sign-in

Apple Sign In and Google Sign In are optional. They let you connect a garden to an account for sync and subscription ownership. If sign-in does not finish, close the app, reopen it, and try again.

Garden sync

The Gardener keeps a local garden on your device first. When you sign in, you can save or sync it with your account. If your device and account both contain garden information, the app asks you which copy to use rather than overwriting either one automatically.

Premium subscriptions

Premium unlocks deeper personalized placement guidance, Ask Grandad conversations beyond the Free allowance, and optional photo questions. Current pricing and terms are shown in the app before purchase.

Restore Purchases

Open Account and choose Restore Purchases. Keep the app open while the secure entitlement refresh completes. Manage an active subscription through Account or your Apple subscription settings.

Ask Grandad

Ask Grandad offers practical gardening guidance, not a guarantee. For food safety, pesticide labels, preservation, or urgent plant-health concerns, use appropriate authoritative guidance.

Photos and camera access

Photo questions are an optional Premium feature. The app asks for camera or photo-library access only when you choose to take or select a garden photo. You can change that permission later in iPhone Settings.

Location and weather

Location is optional and used while the app is open for local weather and gardening guidance. You can choose a garden location manually or change location access in iPhone Settings.
