For those who enjoy taking occasional breaks from their computer screen to stop and smell the roses, there's a new gardening app that lets you catalog your nature walk.
Gardens, a free iOS app for those with green thumbs, lets you take, label and share plant photos to a personal online scrapbook. Budding botanists, horiticulturists and basic gardeners can use the app as a memory tool, as well as a database for advice and tutorials. Check out the video, above, for more.
After taking a photo, users can share snapshots via social media or email. They can also buy gardening supplies directly from suppliers by clicking a wheelbarrow icon, In addition to a personal plant archive, the app offers "Magic Parcels" each month that include videos, pictures and expert information.
"No more struggling with a wet notebook if you are out and about looking at gardens and want to remember the name of a plant," the site says.
Gardens is an accompanying app to intoGardens, an iPad magazine.
