This spring, my smartphone became an invaluable tool in understanding the plant life surrounding my home. Thanks to the PictureThis app (recommended by a conservationist friend), identifying plants became as simple as taking a photo. Here's how I've used it:

1. Identifying Plants: Previously, plants were just green background to me. Now, I can identify many species simply by photographing them and researching them afterwards.

PictureThis has provided detailed information on each plant, guiding my landscaping decisions and helping me cultivate a thriving natural environment.

4. Successful Plant Transplantation: I've observed the rapid growth of forests around my home. PictureThis helped me identify young saplings, revealing a simple truth: leaf shape is a key identifier, even in tiny seedlings. These saplings, often found near mature trees, are easily transplanted.

Saplings typically appear within a short distance of the parent tree, though some seeds travel further on the wind. I've discovered numerous saplings, and transplanting them will significantly increase the density of our treeline within a decade.

I've carefully transplanted saplings during their dormant periods (spring or fall) to fill in gaps in our yard's landscaping, where neighbors' views are visible. These native plants require minimal maintenance; I only need to avoid mowing over them and keep aggressive plants at bay.

While I'm not a gardening expert (I hope to take classes someday!), using PictureThis has dramatically improved my plant identification and care skills. It's one of the most impactful apps I've ever used.
