How it works
One garden community, three ways to take part
Choose how you garden. Each account type has its own tools, and everyone meets in the same community.
Home Owner
Grow with confidence, with a community behind you
Whether you have a windowsill, a balcony or a backyard, Garden Riser helps you look after your plants, swap with neighbours and find help when you need it.
How it works, step by step
- 1
Create your free profile
Sign up, pick Home Owner and tell us roughly where you garden. We use your area to show nearby listings and professionals.
- 2
Add your garden and plants
Build a garden portfolio with photos and before-and-after albums, and list the plants you grow.
- 3
Keep a plant diary
Log watering, feeding and pruning, and set care reminders that arrive in the app or by email.
- 4
Give away, swap or sell
List plants, seeds, cuttings or tools. People nearby send offers, and you agree the details together in chat.
- 5
Book a professional
Browse gardeners near you, send a request with photos, compare quotes, book, and leave a review when the job is done.
What you get as a Home Owner

Good to know, whoever you are
Free, worldwide
Every account type is free to use in every country. There are no subscriptions and no ads.
You pay each other directly
