PNW Gardening
A gardening companion app that helps you track plants, get watering and harvest reminders, explore a built-in plant database, and receive local Pacific Northwest weather updates — like a farming simulator for your real garden.
The Problem
Gardeners in the Pacific Northwest deal with a specific climate, specific plants, and a lot of variables to keep track of. PNW Gardening was built to bring that all together in one simple place — plant tracking, reminders, local weather, a plant database, and a community to lean on when you have questions.
What We Built
I worked primarily as a frontend developer with some backend involvement. The app is built with Next.js and Supabase, and ships as both a web app and a mobile app using a web wrapper.
Plant database — The app includes its own plant database with detailed information on a wide range of plants. Users can browse, learn about their plants, and keep notes organized by their garden.
Tracking & reminders — Users can log their plants, track watering schedules, and get harvest reminders so nothing gets missed.
Local weather — Integrated local Pacific Northwest weather updates to help gardeners plan around real conditions.
Community — Gardeners can ask questions, share knowledge, and get help from other users directly inside the app.
Technical Challenges
The project was relatively straightforward to build. The main focus was delivering a clean, usable experience across both web and mobile through the web wrapper approach — making sure it felt native enough to be genuinely useful on all platforms.
Results & Impact
PNW Gardening is live at pnwgardening.app with 100+ users on Android, with similar numbers on web and the Apple App Store. User feedback has been positive — people find it simple and genuinely helpful for their day-to-day gardening. It’s a company project with no public source code.
