PlantForager identifies plants from a photo and tells you what you are looking at: its names, whether it is known to be edible or toxic, when it flowers and fruits, and how to care for it.
IDENTIFY
Take a photo of a plant, or choose one from your library, and get a match from a botanical database of tens of thousands of species. Think it got it wrong? Add photos of the leaves, flowers or fruit and try again.
KNOW WHAT IT IS
Every identified plant comes with its common names and clear toxicity information for both people and pets. Where the data is uncertain, PlantForager says so rather than guessing.
BLOOM AND FRUITING TIMES
See when a species flowers and when it fruits, so you know what to look for and when.
YOUR GARDEN
Save the plants you find. Each one keeps its photo, the date and where you found it, so your garden becomes a record of what grows around you.
WILD SIGHTINGS MAP
Search the area around you for plants recorded by a global naturalist community, or scan for edible plants specifically, then identify any sighting with a tap.
PLANT CARE TOOLS
Work out how often to water a plant, whether it needs repotting, and the best spot in your home for it.
BACK UP YOUR GARDEN
Sign in with Apple or Google to back up your plants, saved locations and photos, and pick up where you left off on a new phone.
TEN LANGUAGES
English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Japanese and Indonesian.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
PlantForager is a reference tool, not a foraging authority. Never eat, handle or prepare any wild plant based only on this app. Always confirm identification and safety with a qualified expert and trusted local sources first, consider your own allergies, and follow local laws on foraging and protected species.
