About Us
Hello, and welcome to Garden Plant Finder!
Why we created Garden Plant Finder
Garden Plant Finder is run by the Garden Plant Finder team, and grew out of a shared interest in plants, gardening and the natural world.
We believe gardening should be enjoyable, accessible and rewarding for everyone, whether you are a complete beginner growing your first plant or an experienced gardener looking to expand your knowledge.
Our aim with Garden Plant Finder is to make gardening information easier to find and understand. The website brings together practical plant information, growing guides, seasonal gardening advice and useful tools to help people make informed decisions about their gardens.
From choosing the right plants for your space to understanding soil, sunlight, watering and seasonal care, we want to help take some of the guesswork out of gardening.
We are particularly interested in the connection between nature, science and technology, and how reliable information and digital tools can make gardening smarter and more sustainable.
Thank you for visiting Garden Plant Finder. We hope you find inspiration, useful advice and everything you need to help your garden grow.
Let’s grow something wonderful together!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the plant information come from?
We bring together widely accepted growing advice for UK gardens. Many pages link to trusted sources, such as the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), so you can read more and check the details for yourself.
Is Garden Plant Finder free to use?
Yes. The plant finder, guides, calendars and tools are all free to use.
How accurate is the advice?
The guides describe what a plant usually needs. Your own garden’s soil, drainage, shelter and local weather can make a difference, so keep an eye on your plants and adjust as you go. Always check pet safety and toxicity with a qualified source.
Can I suggest a plant to be added?
Yes, please! Send us the plant’s common or botanical name using the contact page below.

We love hearing from other gardeners. Send us a message to suggest a plant, report a problem or just say hello.
