Introducing Helene the New GardenAdvice AI Agent with Plant Identification Skills
Instant Plant Identification • Smarter Gardening Advice • Guided Project Support
At GardenAdvice we’ve always believed that the right advice, given at the right moment, can transform anyone into a confident and successful gardener. Today, we’re excited to launch a major step forward in making expert help available whenever you need it: the second GardenAdvice AI Agent called Helene — your intelligent gardening companion, available instantly on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Whether you’re identifying a plant on a walk, diagnosing a problem in your garden, planning a new project, or simply curious about the best way to care for something, the Helene GardenAdvice AI Agent delivers fast, accurate and personalised guidance.
Identify Plants Instantly Using Your Phone
One of the most powerful features of the new Helene GardenAdvice AI service is its advanced plant identification tool. With just a single photo, you can understand what’s growing in your garden — or anywhere else.
You can identify plants by:
- Taking a photo directly with your phone’s camera
- Uploading an image from your photo gallery
- Drag-and-dropping an image into the tool
The AI analyses leaves, flowers, bark, structure and colour patterns to provide a highly accurate identification, along with extra details input such as:
- Growth habits
- Hardiness
- Light, soil and water requirements
- Common problems and solutions
This makes it easier than ever to discover new plants, manage your borders, or check the identity of unknown species before planting or removing them.
Expert Gardening Advice — Instantly
Beyond identification, the Helene GardenAdvice AI Agent can act as your personal adviser for any gardening challenge. Whether you’re caring for houseplants, working through seasonal jobs, troubleshooting pests or planning a full garden redesign, the AI delivers clear, practical, expert-level advice.
Try asking:
- “Why are my roses developing black spot?”
- “When should I prune my apple tree in the UK?”
- “How do I improve heavy clay soil before planting?”
- “What vegetables can I sow in early spring?”
Its answers are tailored to recognised horticultural best practices — and to your own garden’s conditions where relevant.
Smart Project Support That Learns From You
A unique strength of the Helene GardenAdvice AI Agent is its ability to ask you follow-up questions to refine its advice. Rather than generic answers, it aims to understand your exact situation.
For example:
- Planning raised beds? It may ask about size, materials and location.
- Designing a planting scheme? It might ask about sunlight levels, colour preferences and maintenance expectations.
- Troubleshooting plant health? It may ask for extra photos or details about watering, soil, or recent weather.
This conversational approach mirrors interacting with a GardenAdvice expert — but instantly, any time of day.
Built for Gardeners of Every Level
Whether you’re a beginner planting your first bed or an experienced gardener seeking quick confirmation, the Helene GardenAdvice AI Agent is designed to support you at every stage. It complements the guidance offered by the GardenAdvice team and connects seamlessly with our huge gardening knowledge base.
