How it works

From a tiny stake to a thriving plot.

Four simple steps to make every garden smarter, more joyful, and more connected.

  1. 01

    Plant your stake

    Push your free MiniRoots stake into the soil. Each one carries a unique code and QR — your garden's permanent identifier.

  2. 02

    Scan & name it

    Open MiniRoots on your phone, scan the stake, and give your plot a name. Map its bed, its sunlight, what you're growing.

  3. 03

    Grow with guidance

    Get plant-specific tips, watering reminders, and seasonal nudges. Log photos, harvests, and notes as your garden evolves.

  4. 04

    Share & swap

    Trade seedlings with neighbors, ask for help, lend a green thumb, or earn from helping others. Build local food, locally.
