Disclaimer

The gardening guidance provided in Garden - including planting times, pest management recommendations, soil advice, and growing tips - is intended for general informational purposes only. Every garden is different. Soil conditions, microclimates, local pest pressure, and growing conditions vary enormously from one location to the next.

Garden's recommendations are based on general organic gardening principles and USDA hardiness zone data. They are a starting point, not a guarantee. Results will vary. Always observe your own garden closely and adapt advice to your specific conditions.

We recommend consulting your local cooperative extension service for region-specific guidance, especially for serious pest or disease outbreaks.

Garden uses automated systems to generate plant and pest profiles for species not in our core database, and to answer gardening questions through the Ask Garden feature. While we have designed these systems to provide accurate, organic-focused information, automatically generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies.

Generated plant and pest profiles should be treated as a helpful starting point. Always cross-reference important growing information - especially for medicinal plants - with additional authoritative sources before acting on it.

Garden stores your personal garden data - including journal entries, planting logs, and photos - securely in Cloudflare's infrastructure. We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not display advertising.

Photos uploaded to Garden for diagnosis or journaling are stored securely and are not used to train any systems.

Your account data can be deleted at any time from your Account Settings page. Deleting your account permanently removes all associated data from our systems.

Gardening is inherently variable. Weather, pests, soil biology, and dozens of other factors influence outcomes in ways no app can fully predict. Garden is a companion and a knowledge resource - not a guarantee of results.

We have built Garden with genuine care and deep knowledge, but we encourage every gardener to observe, experiment, and learn from their own land. Your garden will teach you things no app can.

If you have questions about this disclaimer or about how Garden handles your data, please contact us at garden@willowbottom.com. We read every email.
