See your garden through the seasons

A garden looks different every month. Seasonry+ unlocks Live season, so you can scrub through the whole year and see exactly how your planting reads in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

1. Full splendor or live season

In View mode, the Seasons button in the right-hand rail opens a panel with the two ways the canvas can look, each explained on its own card: Full splendor (every plant at its peak) and Live season. Pick Live season and the garden snaps to how it actually looks right now, foliage colour, bloom and all, while a small label with the month appears above the bottom toolbar and the year's timeline opens above it.

The panel is on a computer and on a phone held sideways. On a phone held upright, the same Seasons button turns Live season on and off directly, and the timeline opens with it. The garden's own settings, Open this garden in Live season and Live season on home thumbnail, sit at the bottom of the Seasons panel as well as in Settings, and apply on a phone too.

On a phone The first time you turn it on, the phone takes a few seconds to draw your plants for all twelve months. A garden planted with many species can take longer.

2. Scrub through the year

Drag the month slider and the whole garden updates as you go, greens deepen into summer, warm into autumn, then bare off for winter. It's the fastest way to catch a dull month before it happens.

3. Play the whole year

Press Play the year and the plan animates through all twelve months on its own. Watch the bare winter tree leaf out and blossom in spring, a shrub come into flower through summer, then everything warm to autumn orange before the leaves drop again, while the evergreens hold their colour. The fastest way to read your garden's year-round rhythm, and catch a dull month before it happens.
