The MyGardenTeam online guide 

 

This is the guide for the online section of your MyGardenTeam Service which has been provided to you because you signed up for the GardenAdvice MyGardenTeam service or the service was included in a GardenAdvice gardening course you attended. 

On this online section, we create all the notes relating to your gardening tasks and projects.

2. SMS ( text message ) and Email alerts. 

  • As part of the MyGardenTeam service, we will send you alerts by SMS and emails. These alerts relate to tasks you might wish to undertake with regards to items such as pruning and feeding your plants plus alerts about taking action to help prevent pest and diseases. 
  • These alerts are triggered by data we collect in your local area on several different elements including natural light levels, temperature and rainfall. 
  • In addition, we take into account the aspect and elevation of your garden.
  • You can ask for these alerts to be switched off or we are happy to extend the alerts to up to 3 additional people maybe your partner, family members or another gardener who helps you in your garden.
