    Ask—or simply share

    Publish a contextual Help request or a photo-led Plant moment just because it made your day.

  3. 03 Escalate

What would you check first on these curled leaves?

Social, without the noise

Designed to feel like a good neighbour.

Useful when you need it, quiet when you do not, and careful with the private collection behind every post.

Private by default

Your collection stays yours. Sharing a garden is opt-in, one plant at a time, for the audience you choose.

Calm notifications

Replies and important updates reach you. Reactions are grouped, and relevant new questions are always opt-in.

People, not generated personas

Answers come from members and verified experts. Reputation is thematic and cosmetic—not a global popularity contest.

A real inbox, not another attention machine

Important updates arrive. Everything else waits.

Answers, accepted solutions, follows, and moderation updates are easy to find. Votes and reactions become calm summaries. New matching questions stay off until you opt in by category.

The diary underneath it all

Care today. Remember tomorrow.

Neighbourhood starts with a genuinely useful tracker: flexible schedules, a complete care history, and a visual record of how each plant changed.

Verdiary timeline showing upcoming care for each plant across several days

A living plant journal

Keep dated photos, care notes, and every completed task together. Location metadata is removed on upload.

See the private plant diary

From photo to plant profile

Identify a new plant, record its species and needs, then organize it by room, light, soil, and potting style.

See what the diary records

Shared care, clear history

Invite your household or give a plant-sitter time-limited access. Everyone can see what was done and when.

Learn about shared plant care
Community first. Expert when needed.

There is always a next step.

Start in the open Help thread so several growers can contribute. If the problem needs deeper attention, move reviewed plant context into a private consultation with a verified human expert.

Free during validation Community and expert help currently cost nothing.

The honest version

A few things worth knowing.

No buried privacy settings and no vague “AI-powered community” promises.

Is Verdiary free?

The plant tracker is free. Neighbourhood and expert help are also free while we validate the community experience—no credit card required.

Will my private plants appear in Neighbourhood?

No. A Help request shows a reviewed snapshot, and gardens are shared plant by plant. Nothing is published automatically from your diary.

Are questions and profiles public on the web?

No. Neighbourhood is currently for signed-in members aged 16 or older. Requests, profiles, gardens, and photos are not public search pages.

Can I self-host Verdiary?

Yes—the tracker is open-core and designed to run on your own infrastructure. Neighbourhood, moderation, and expert escalation are hosted services on verdiary.com.

Your next plant deserves a diary

Start with one plant. Meet the people who help it grow.
