PlantCareQR™ - GrowersAbout PlantCare-Growers
PlantCare-Growers is a Large Language Model-powered plant care platform built for garden centers, nurseries, and plant retailers who want to give their customers the best possible growing experience. Our mission is simple: help every plant buyer succeed by putting expert horticultural guidance directly into their hands — right at the point of sale and beyond.
Using QR codes placed on plant tags, nursery shelves, or printed receipts, customers can instantly access a detailed, AI-generated care sheet for any plant. Each care sheet draws from 17 premium horticultural sources — to deliver accurate planting instructions, seasonal care calendars, companion plant recommendations, and over 36 special growing attributes such as deer resistance, drought tolerance, and pollinator friendliness.
PlantCare-Growers is designed for independent garden centers, multi-location retail chains, and enterprise nursery operations alike. Growers get a branded dashboard with real-time analytics, inventory management, customer engagement tools, weather-based alerts, and upsell recommendations — all designed to increase plant survival rates, reduce returns, and drive repeat visits.
The platform is built and maintained by DogBone Apps LLC, a software company focused on building technology solutions for the horticulture industry. Our team combines deep expertise in software engineering with a genuine passion for plants, gardening, and helping local businesses thrive. We work closely with nursery professionals, horticulturists, and cooperative extension agents to ensure every care sheet we generate meets the highest standards of accuracy and usefulness.
Whether you run a single growing facility or manage hundreds of nurseries, PlantCare-Growers gives you the tools to educate your customers, differentiate your brand, and grow your business — one plant at a time.
