Ask Helene Anything About Your Garden

Helene is the knowledgeable gardening friend you can turn to at any time. Wondering why your roses aren’t flowering? Not sure when to prune your hydrangeas? Simply ask Helene and she’ll provide clear, practical advice you can act on straight away.

Identify Plants in Seconds

Spotted something growing in your garden and not sure what it is? Just snap a photo and share it with Helene. She’ll identify the plant and give you useful information about how to care for it, whether it’s a welcome addition or something you might want to keep in check.

Get a Planting Plan for Any Space

If you’ve got an area of your garden that needs attention — a bare border, a shady corner, or a patch you’d like to reimagine — Helene can suggest planting plans tailored to your space. Tell her about the conditions, what you like, and what you’re hoping to achieve, and she’ll come up with ideas to get you started.

Houseplant Recommendations for Any Room

Looking to bring some greenery indoors? Take a photo of your room and share it with Helene. She’ll assess the light levels and space available and recommend houseplants that will thrive in that environment — and look great too.

Advice That’s Tailored to You

What makes Helene different is that she doesn’t just give generic answers. She’ll ask you thoughtful follow-up questions — about your soil type, how much sun your garden gets, how much time you have for maintenance, and more — so the advice she gives is genuinely relevant to your situation. The more you share, the better her recommendations become.
