Your everyday botanical companion

Learn the plants and flowers growing around you — their names, their nature, and the ways they can flavor your cooking, soothe your skin, and brighten your everyday life.

What did you find?

01 / Identify

Take 3 or more photos of different parts: the top of a leaf, the bottom of a leaf, the stem, the flower, the fruit, or the whole plant from a few steps back. Don't dig up the roots — never pull up a plant if you're not sure what it is.

Why 3 photos? Each part is a clue, like in a mystery. Some poisonous plants have leaves that look just like safe ones. When we see the leaf, stem and flower together, we can be much more sure what your plant is. If we're very sure, and the plant is safe to eat or use, we'll show you ideas for how to use it — like recipes, teas, and skin balms.

Sensory field checklist

Observe without tasting, crushing or touching unknown plants. A completed checklist is not confirmation of identity or edibility.

This app is for learning only. Never eat a wild plant or use it as medicine just because an app said so. Check with a plant expert near you and talk to a doctor first. Foragely does not identify mushrooms.
