Gardnery

A field guide to what grows at your place — not somewhere else.

Terms of use

Last updated 4 November 2026 · covers the free features and the My Garden subscription

  1. Who we are. Gardnery is an Australian gardening companion operated by its individual maker as a sole trader in Australia, trading as Listed Nearby. ABN: 52 978 659 058. Gardnery is offered in Australia, through the Australian App Store and Google Play, to people aged 13 and over. These terms are governed by the law of Tasmania and of the Commonwealth of Australia.
  2. What you get, free. Today’s answer for the climate zone your postcode maps to, every plant page we ship for that zone, the planting calendar (the months for your zone, with a government credit line where a government source is behind a value), and the frost guide, including why frost decides a planting date. The free features need no account. Coverage is limited by region: the catalogue is built from sources we have permission to use, it is not complete for every zone or every plant, and where we have no admitted source for your zone the app says so rather than inventing a window.
  3. My Garden, the subscription. My Garden is where you keep a garden, and it is optional and paid. It is a 7-day free trial for eligible new subscribers, then A$6.99 a month or A$34.99 a year, including GST, as you choose when you start the trial; both plans give the same thing. My Garden covers your beds and plantings, the jobs and reminders for them, your harvest log with totals for each season and year, the history of each bed, your own plants (plants outside the catalogue that you track yourself, with no advice from us), and frost and heat alerts for your postcode’s area. Without it you keep the free features in item 2. The store shows the price, including GST, before you confirm, and the store’s figure is the one that counts.
  4. Billing and auto-renewal. My Garden is sold only through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, and Apple or Google takes the payment, not us, under their terms as well as these. The price, including GST, is shown in the store before you buy (the store’s figure is the one that counts). The subscription renews automatically for the same period until you cancel. The two stores have different deadlines, so:
    • payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account when you confirm the purchase — or, for a plan that starts with a free trial, when the trial ends;
    • App Store: it renews unless you turn auto-renew off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and the renewal can be charged up to 24 hours before that period ends;
    • Google Play: it renews unless you cancel before the end of the current period, and the renewal is charged when the new period starts;
    • you can manage it, and cancel it, in your store account settings;
    • the 7-day free trial. Both plans start with a 7-day free trial for a store account that has not had it before. You are not charged during the trial. When it ends, the plan you chose becomes paid: the store charges its price for that plan and renews it each period, unless you cancel in time. On the App Store, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. On Google Play, cancel before the trial ends. We suggest cancelling at least a day early on either store. The store gives the trial once per store account: if your Apple ID or Google account has already had it, the store shows the plain price and the app says nothing about a trial. The store decides who is eligible and applies its own trial terms as well as these. The store’s own terms decide what happens if you change plan during a trial. If you cancel in time you are not charged; whether My Garden keeps working until the trial’s last day is decided by the store.
    Our reminder. Two days before a free trial ends, and again on its last morning, Gardnery tells you: with a notification on your phone, if you have allowed notifications for Gardnery, and with a notice in the app. It gives the day the trial ends and, from what the store reports, whether the plan will renew or you have cancelled. The reminder is a courtesy: it is built on your device, it can fail (for example when notifications are off), and it does not replace checking your store account, which is where the charge and the cancellation deadline are decided.
    If we change the price, the store tells you before the new price applies and you can cancel before it does; a change never applies to a period you have already paid for. Item 12 applies to a price change as well.
  5. Cancelling. Cancel any time in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions) or the App Store (on iPhone and iPad: Settings, your name, Subscriptions; on a Mac: the App Store, under your account’s Subscriptions). In the app, Settings, then Help, then Manage or cancel subscription opens the right store page for you. Cancelling stops the next renewal; My Garden keeps working for as long as the store keeps your plan active, normally to the end of the period you have paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription — only the store can. See Refunds.
  6. Refunds. The store that took the payment handles refunds, under its own rules. As a goodwill offer on top of your rights, if you ask within 48 hours of your first charge after a free trial, we support a refund: on Google Play we refund it, and on the App Store, where only Apple can refund, we tell Apple we support it and Apple decides (the steps are on the Refunds page, and in the app under Settings → Help → Ask for a refund). When you ask Apple for a refund, you agree that Gardnery may share basic information about that purchase with Apple so Apple can decide; that never limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. If you think the Australian Consumer Law gives you a remedy, write to hello@gardnery.com at any time; you do not need a store refusal first. See Refunds.
  7. What happens if you stop paying, or a trial ends. Your data is yours, and nothing you entered is deleted by the app or by us. When a trial ends without a subscription, or a subscription ends or is refunded, My Garden stops taking changes. You can still read everything you entered, export it (a backup file, and a calendar file of what you recorded), and delete it (the Delete my data button). You cannot add or change plantings, beds, harvest entries or your own plants, and reminders and weather alerts stop. The free features in item 2 carry on. Subscribing again, or Restore purchases, brings My Garden back with your data as you left it.
  8. Weather alerts. Frost and heat alerts are part of My Garden, are off until you turn them on, and use a forecast for your postcode’s area that Gardnery fetches while the app is open: they only arrive if you open the app, and they are only as good as the last forecast it fetched. The forecast is a general one for about a square kilometre. It can miss a frost hollow, a cold pocket or a hot wall at your place, and it can be late or wrong; your phone may also hold back or drop a notification. An alert is a prompt to look, not a guarantee, and not a substitute for checking the weather and your own plants. Nothing in this item limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
  9. Your responsibilities. Use Gardnery for personal, non-commercial gardening. Don’t scrape, bulk-download, or resell the catalogue; don’t probe or interfere with the service.
  10. Our content and licences. Gardnery’s advice text is ours. The planting months behind it come from published Australian sources. Where a government source is behind a value the app credits it, and the government and open-licence sources the app shows, with the licences they are used under, are listed in the app under Settings, then Sources and licences. Those sources’ licence terms apply to their material.
  11. Outcomes, and your consumer guarantees. See the Disclaimer. Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing on this page excludes, restricts or modifies them — including for a paid subscription. Where a guarantee applies and we fail it, you have the remedies the law gives you, whatever the rest of these terms say.
  12. Changes to these terms. We may change these terms, for example when the app gains a feature or the law changes. We will not change them to take away something a paid plan includes, or to charge more, for a period you have already paid for. Before a change that affects you takes effect, we will publish it on this page at least 30 days ahead, with the date it starts, and, because the app has no accounts and we hold no email address for you, we will also put a notice in the app for those 30 days. If you do not agree, you can cancel before that date, and the change will not apply to the time you have already paid for. A change never reduces your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
