Description

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the show about anything and everything connected with nature.

 

In this episode of The Backyard Naturalists, Laurie and Debbie dig into the world of plant identification apps! They review several popular options, including Picture This, Plant Snap, Leaf Snap, Flora Incognita, Plant Net, iNaturalist, and Garden Answers. Each app has unique features, from instant ID and care info to community science-based databases.

 

Whether you're a beginner or a plant pro, they cover the pros and cons—like accuracy, database scope, and ease of use—so you can find the app that fits your needs. The hosts also discuss how AI and community input power these apps and share tips on getting the best results. Don't miss the comparison chart they’ll be posting on Facebook to help guide your choice!
