Every plant is checked against Kew's world plant list, so the name you find is the name you can trust.

Pick a butterfly, bee or bird and see the plants it needs: host plants for the caterpillars and nectar for the adults.

Almost Everything smart plant tags: a pot stake, a hang tag and two tree tags, each with a QR code

See a QR code on a plant tag? Scan it.

At nurseries that use Almost Everything, every tag opens the plant's page: how to grow it, how big it gets, where it grows wild and what butterflies and birds visit it.

Grow it well

Short, plain lessons from people who've worked the rows.

  • Roots Need to Breathe
  • Getting Ready for a Hard Freeze
  • Buy by the botanical name, not just the common one
