The WildGarden Guide is a low-cost, easy-to-use wooden lawn frame and app that allows new and experienced lawn owners to digitally mix and match native flora before planting in the wood frame.
The wood cross beams have engraved breakpoints, allowing the user to snap the standard frame and rearrange the sectors to make different flower beds based on their available lawn space.
For example, the right side of the frame can be snapped off, leaving an “L” shape for lawn corners; two frames can be placed back-to-back, creating an island patch for larger lawns; the left and right sides of the frame snap off and can connect to other side-less frames, creating strips for yard perimeters.
The frame’s sectors reserve a calculated soil space (red = annuals, pink = perennials, yellow = grasses), transforming a mowed, lifeless lawn into a backyard bouquet.
Users can press a colored sector on the app; scroll through the WildGarden App’s library of local plant life; choose a plant species; and see a rendering of their wild garden to preview before fully planting.
