This month we shipped the biggest update since Truleaf began: a Garden Architect that starts from a photo of your space, a new product for farms, and a map of the farmers markets around you.
More than 20,000 people use Truleaf to grow plants, from a few pots on a balcony to whole farms. These three features come from the same idea: help everyone who grows make better decisions, wherever they grow.
1. Garden Architect, now from a photo
Garden Architect has been Truleaf's 3D garden planner for a while. It now starts from the space you actually have.
Take a photo of your terrace, balcony or garden. Garden Architect finds the surfaces in it (floor, walls, parapets, windows), measures them and turns the photo into a 3D model to scale.
From that model it suggests designs made for that space, such as a potager, a dry Mediterranean garden or a cottage garden. Pick one and change it plant by plant: move pots and beds, swap plants from the library and see the result in 3D. It works on your phone too.
Photo scans are open to every Truleaf account. A scan uses credits, and you see the price before you start.
2. Truleaf Fields, for farms and advisors

Truleaf Fields puts satellite, weather and field records in one place, for growers and the advisors who work with them. Draw a field once and Truleaf follows it for you.
- A new satellite image every few days. Each field is coloured by how green it is (NDVI), so you can see which parts are growing well and which are falling behind, and how that changes over the season.
- The next 48 hours of weather for each field, with minimum and maximum temperature, rain, wind and frost alerts.
- Ask Kwáu about your fields. Kwáu, Truleaf's assistant, answers questions such as "why is this field less green this month?" with the numbers and a chart from your own field.
3. Find farmers markets near you
Truleaf now shows the farmers markets, nurseries and garden shops around you on a map. Each place is checked by Truleaf: when it opens, what it sells and which of those things are in season now. Directions, website or phone are one tap away.
Places we have researched in depth carry a Detailed profile mark and are listed first.
We are starting with the areas we have checked most closely: Lisbon, São Paulo, California and the Washington DC area. We are adding more places as we check them.
Tell us what you think
All three are live today. If you try one of them and something could be better, we want to hear it: send us your feedback.
And if you know a grower, an agronomist or a gardener who could use any of this, please share this post with them.
