Introducing Trellis

Your gardening friend who remembers it all.

Snap a few photos and Trellis will remember your home and yard space by space, plant by plant. Those chives on the kitchen window, the ficus that drops leaves, the bamboo trying to jump to your neighbor's yard. Trellis is the friend who knows plants but never lectures. Just lots of good ideas about enjoying the spaces in your home and garden.

Trellis is not another plant-ID app.

Those apps name a plant, tell you how much to water, and move on. With photos and conversation, Trellis learns about the spaces in your home and yard. It remembers your plants and how you like to enjoy your garden.

How Trellis works

It's a conversation, not a database. You show Trellis your indoor and outdoor spaces with photos, and it answers like a friend who knows how to enjoy life.

First

Show it your spaces

Snap a photo of any room or corner. Trellis sorts your plants into spaces — Kitchen Window, South Patio, Front Entry — and reads each one in context.

Then

Get great ideas

The one thing worth doing this week, with a time estimate. Move the ficus. Pinch the basil. Enjoy coffee in your garden. Then gives you a plan to follow, at your pace.

Over Time

Watch the year unfold

Trellis remembers what you planted and where, keeps a photo journal, and tells you what's coming — all the way to "next June, the ficus should be full and leafy again."

Take a photo. Ask anything.

Trellis doesn't just diagnose what's wrong. It helps you dream up what's next — and make something of what you grow.

"What should go in this empty corner?"

Show Trellis the bare spot by the window. It reads the light and the room and suggests plants that will actually thrive there — and pull the space together.

"What should I add to this group?"

Photograph a shelf or a bed that feels not-quite-finished. Trellis suggests the plant that completes it — height, color, texture, the whole arrangement.

"What can I make from this tonight?"

Snap your herb bed or vegetable patch and Trellis tells you what's ready and what to cook with it. The garden comes all the way to the table.

"Where should I buy it?"

Set your favorite local shop once, and Trellis sends you there first whenever you need a plant, a pot, or a fix.
