Plant photos

The reference photo for each plant comes from a photographer who shared it with the GBIF community — the Global Biodiversity Information Facility — under a Creative Commons license. Open any plant in your garden and tap its photo to see who took it, its license, and a link to the original. Photos may be resized or re-compressed so they load quickly; the original is always reachable from that link.

License details

Most plant photos are CC BY 4.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0); some are released to the public domain under CC0 1.0 (creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0); a few are CC BY 3.0 (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0). Each photo's specific license is shown on that plant's page.

Your own photos

Any photo you take in the app — a plant's cover photo or a memory — is yours and stays private to your account. Those aren't part of these credits.
