Why does the site avoid fixed planting months?
A month can represent opposite seasons in different hemispheres, and even nearby places can differ in elevation, rainfall and frost. The guides use conditions first and direct readers to local timing.
Does “garden” mean the same thing everywhere?
No. It may mean the whole outdoor space around a home, a planted bed, a productive plot, an allotment, a courtyard or containers on a balcony.
Are hardiness zones enough to choose plants?
No. They mainly describe cold tolerance according to the particular mapping system. Summer heat, moisture, wind, soil and local pests also matter.
Why include famous gardens?
They demonstrate design principles at a high level. The guides identify realistic lessons—such as framing a view or repeating a shape—without suggesting that a household copy estate-scale maintenance.
Do the tools save my garden information?
No. Calculations occur in the browser. The site does not intentionally receive or store the values entered into them.
Can the site diagnose a sick plant?
No. Symptom guides can organize observations, but a local diagnostic service or qualified professional may be needed.
