What’s new
The newest things in Seasonry. Small fixes and refinements are left out, so everything on this page is something you can go and use.
A redesigned bloom calendar: every plant with its own flowers
1.4.2
A redesigned bloom calendar
In the bloom calendar (Seasonry+), every plant now gets its own vine, carrying its own leaves and flowers, so you can see at a glance what blooms when in your garden. The same vine is also on each plant’s Bloom & foliage card, whichever plan you are on.
Even more lifelike Garden Visual pictures, and the Seasonry blog has launched
1.4.1
AI Enhance
For 1 credit we can make your Garden Visual pictures even more lifelike, including the ones you have already made.
The Seasonry blog has launched
Short articles about situations that come up in the garden, from spotting them to a possible solution. When an article comes with a garden, you can open it in Seasonry.
Photo-like pictures of your garden, and realistic plants on the plan
1.4.0
See your garden from where you would stand
Put a figure on your plan, turn it in the direction you would look, and get a photo-like picture of your garden, with exactly your plants, in any season. Pictures take credits: a Seasonry+ subscription gives you 2 credits a month, but you can also buy a credit pack without one.
Realistic plants on the plan
Whichever plan you are on, plants now appear as lifelike pictures seen from above instead of drawn shapes. If you prefer the drawn shapes, you can switch this off in Settings.
Trim to shape and line them up
You can now trim woody plants into a ball, a round column, a block or a square column, and set their height too. Arrange in a line puts the selected plants in a line, with a gap or touching each other, and first shows a dashed outline of where they will go.
Plan the month with stickers
The Tasks panel now shows each month’s jobs as stickers, each with only the plants it falls on that month. Stick one on the day you plan it, or on a day gone by to record that you did it, and your plan is there on every device you sign in on.
See what a style looks like
On the Garden styles page, every built-in style’s card has a bed that shows what that style looks like. Point at it with the mouse and you can watch it through all four seasons.
More lifelike shadows
We have improved the shadows in the Sun & shadow view (Seasonry+): every plant casts a shadow that fits its own shape, and the shadows of trimmed plants, trees bare in winter and fences are more accurate too.
The lessons are now videos, and we have corrected some plant names
1.3.3
Watch the lessons on video
Every lesson is now an actual video recording of the app being used.
We have corrected some plant names
We have made the plant names more accurate.
Hundreds more plants to choose from, and a plan that shows you what you are pointing at
1.3.0
Over 2,000 plants in the catalogue
The catalogue has grown by more than 600 plants and now holds 2,208. Every one of them arrives the way the rest did: with its mature size, when it flowers, what its leaves do through the year, and the Conditions telling you the soil, pH, moisture, sun and water it wants. Nothing is a bare name. Search and filter as you always have, and the new plants sit alongside the rest.
See what you are about to click
Point at anything on the plan and it now outlines itself. Until now only plants did that, so beds, objects, paths, fences and the house left you guessing about what a click would land on, which is hardest exactly where things overlap. The outline is easier to see, too. The amber highlight used to disappear against pale paving and stone, and it now sits on a soft casing that keeps it readable on every surface in the garden.
Send anyone a link to your garden
1.2.0
Share your garden with anyone
You can now share your garden with a single link. Visitors can explore the plan, look at the plants and their details, and the garden’s items too – all without an account or anything to install. A shared garden is view-only, and you can switch the link off at any time.
Stand your garden the way you picture it, and pin down what should not move
1.1.2
Turn the whole garden
A plot traced from a map arrives at whatever angle it really sits at, which is rarely the angle you picture your garden from. The new Turn tool shows one picture per side of your plot: pick the side you want along the bottom of the screen and the whole plan swings round to match. North up squares it to the compass instead, and two buttons turn it a quarter at a time. Everything comes along, north included, so the sun path stays right.
Lock what should not move
Select a bed, plant, object, house, path, fence or gate and turn on Lock at the foot of its panel. It can no longer be dragged, resized, rotated or reshaped, and it stays put when you move a bed it is standing in. You can still rename it, recolour it and remove it. Locks save with your garden and travel with a backup, so a part of the plan you are happy with stays that way while you work around it.
See where every plant thrives — and let your beds plant themselves
1.1.0
What every plant needs, on every plan
Every plant in the catalogue now comes with its Conditions: the soil it prefers, the soil pH it grows in, how moist the ground should be, how much sun it needs, and how much water it wants. You’ll find them on the plant’s own card and as filters in the catalogue, so you can quickly find plants that suit the bed you already have.
Describe the conditions in your bed
Answer a few questions about a bed: its soil, its pH, moisture, sunlight and water supply. Each plant can then be compared with those conditions, showing a tick for what matches and a cross for what does not. Find plants for this bed opens the catalogue with the bed’s conditions already applied. If you are unsure about something, simply leave it blank. Unanswered conditions never count against a plant. Part of Seasonry+.
Let the bed plant itself
Turn on Auto-fill, pick a mix, and one press fills the area with a natural-looking planting designed for the available space, using trees, shrubs and groups of perennials. It plants only when you ask: nothing refills behind you, and reshaping the bed trims the planting to its new outline. The mix can be your favourites or any planting style, and Shuffle gives you a different arrangement whenever you want one. Any plants you placed yourself stay exactly where you put them. Part of Seasonry+.
Your garden’s water needs at a glance
The new Water panel gives you an overview of your entire garden’s watering needs. It separates how much water a plant prefers from how well it tolerates going without it, shows the soil conditions your planted areas call for, highlights beds where plants with conflicting moisture needs grow together, and identifies the plants most likely to suffer first during a dry spell. Part of Seasonry+.
Draw your house
Drop a house on the plot and drag its walls to fit. The wall beside the one you pull stretches to follow. There are twelve footprints to start from: a plain rectangle, L, T, U, Z, H, cross and porch, with mirrored versions of the ones that need them. If you have the survey to hand, type a wall’s length instead of dragging it.
Five more things to put in a garden
Objects for the parts of a garden nobody thinks to draw, including wheelie bins with a standing that resizes to the number and size of bins you choose.
Thirty-six new plants
Reblooming bearded irises, prairie perennials and more. The catalogue now holds 1,562 plants, and eleven that had been listed twice under two spellings of the same name are gone.
