The problem we're solving
Every gardener knows the frustration: you want a specific plant—maybe it's rare, maybe it's just not sold at the big box stores. You search across a dozen nursery websites, each with their own catalog format, unclear availability, and no way to compare them side by side.
We built PlantPixel to fix this. We're aggregating catalogs from independent nurseries into one searchable place, so you can discover exactly what you're looking for across all of them—then reach out to the grower directly.
Finding plants shouldn't be this hard
We believe great plants should be easy to find, and small growers deserve a level playing field. Most online marketplaces favor volume growers, but the best plants often come from specialized nurseries who know their stock intimately.
We believe great plants should be easy to find. Independent growers have amazing stock, but they're invisible compared to big nurseries. PlantPixel gives these growers visibility while giving gardeners a simple way to discover exactly what they're looking for—whether that's a cold-hardy fig or a rare begonia cultivar.
What we're building
We're just getting started, but PlantPixel already helps you discover plants from trusted nurseries, enriched with care information and standardized taxonomy. Our search experience makes it easy to find plants across multiple growers in one place.
We're committed to building a platform that keeps improving. Here are some of the features we're planning for the future:
- Detailed taxonomy and cultivar information
- Advanced filtering by climate/soil/light requirements, edibility, perennials/annuals, medicinal properties, USDA zones, and more
- Grower profiles with location and specialties
- Accurate shipping rules and pricing so buyers can accurately compare costs
- Wishlist and collection tracking
- Personalized plant recommendations
- Automated alerts for new or rare plant listings
- Price tracking and comparison
- Automated alerts for significant price changes
- Integrated care guides for the most popular plants
- Mobile-friendly experience
- Verified grower badges
- Community Q&A and discussion boards
- Photo galleries for plant listings
- Seasonal planting reminders
- API access for nurseries
- Multi-language support
We're starting with the fundamentals: accurate data, clear sourcing, and respect for the people growing these plants. There's much more to come — thanks for joining us on this journey.
