Demo garden · live, not a mockup
Walk around inside a real garden.
This is a real Garden Buddy AU account, set up with three beds and eight plants, the same way I’d log my own. What you’re looking at below is the actual My Garden dashboard, not a marketing mockup. Same layout, same controls, same data flow. The only difference is that it’s my demo account instead of yours.
Same dashboard you get as a member, just with my plants on it. Poke around first, sign up later.

What’s on the picture above
The demo account has three beds, the way most of my early members start out:
- Front raised bed, 2.4 square metres, the small one you plant your quick wins in (coriander, Welsh onion).
- Back in-ground plot, 6 square metres, where the longer staying crops go (broad beans, broccoli, kale, silverbeet).
- Herb pots, 1.2 square metres of containers for the herbs that prefer a bit of drainage.
Eight plants are active right now, all logged with planting date and variety so the site can work out which growing stage each one sits in and what care tasks to surface this week. The harvests panel shows 12 entries so far, totalling around 4.3 kilos, which in my view is somewhat of a realistic early autumn run for a small subtropical garden.
What you’ll do differently with your own account
When you sign up, the same dashboard becomes yours. Your postcode sets the climate zone, your bed layout replaces mine, your plant list drives the tasks panel. A few things I’d point out:
- The ROI number is calculated from today’s supermarket prices, not a static estimate. Log a kilo of broccoli, the report compares it against what that kilo costs this week at Coles or Woolworths.
- The weather and pest pressure panels are postcode aware. What I see for Dayboro 4521 is not what you’ll see for Adelaide 5000.
- Every care log entry (watering, mulching, fertiliser, pest treatment) is a row you own. Export it to CSV whenever you want to have a look outside the site.
Nothing in the paid tier is locked behind a separate app or a complicated onboarding. It’s the same page, just with your plants on it.
