Weeds Are Friends
50 Friends in Your Garden
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
50 plants the world calls "weeds", each introducing itself in its own voice. Free, no ads, no data. Tips help support the Xerces Society. No ads. No subscriptions. Free.
The next time you look down and see a dandelion, a clover, or a plantain leaf pressed flat against a sidewalk crack, this app would like you to know: that plant is doing more than you think.
Weeds Are Friends is a field guide to 50 plants the world overlooks. Each one introduces itself in its own voice, telling you what it does, where it grows, and why it matters. No lectures. No guilt. Just a quiet "hi, nice to meet you" from the green things underfoot.
FIELD GUIDE
Browse all 50 weeds in one place. Tap any name to hear its story. Every entry includes the plant's common name, Latin name, where it tends to show up, and the quiet gifts it brings to the soil, the bees, the birds, or the dinner table.
THE PATCH
One friend appears each day. Not a streak. Not an assignment. Just a familiar face waiting if you feel like stopping by.
FREE, ALWAYS
No ads. No accounts. No data collected. No subscriptions. Everything in the app is free and always will be.
GRATITUDE JAR
If the app helped, you can leave a tip. Four tiers, all optional, all voluntary. A portion of every tip supports the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, the oldest organization in the world dedicated to protecting pollinators, butterflies, and the small creatures that hold ecosystems together.
From SillyDroose. Small tools for gentle moments.
