Summary · why it matters

Gardenuity is leveraging a patented AI algorithm called Gardenuity Match to pair customers with the right plants based on predictive weather and growing conditions, while also using AI-driven alerts to help gardeners care for their plants. Co-Founder and CEO Donna Letier explained that the system considers factors like zip code and time to harvest to ensure a successful gardening experience, and the company’s GrowPro feature sends text alerts when weather threatens specific plants. About 65% of Gardenuity’s business comes from corporate wellness partnerships, and the company has become the first gardening company to have its offerings covered by insurance, with Cigna as an early adopter. Letier also announced a new collection called Inspired to Grow, launched in partnership with Bonnie Plants and Scotts Miracle-Gro, aimed at making gardening accessible to a wide range of lifestyles.
