What's all this about?
Folia is a free online social garden tracking app that you can use to track, journal and share the progress of your plants and gardens. Folia has been designed from the ground up to be completely dedicated to the art (and science) of gardening. We welcome your feedback on how we can make it better!
You can tour the site features or, if you can't wait, you can sign up for a free account right now.
How did it start?
The idea for Folia came about when Nic was trying to remember what she had planted in her windowsill boxes and when she had planted them -
we had a look out for a website, or even some software that would let us track our plants easily and couldn't find anything that wasn't overly complicated, required a dodgy subscription or wasn't filled with silly banner ads.
So we decided to create our own... and we hope you will find it as useful as we do!

Who's behind this?
Well, let us introduce ourselves:
There isn't a big company behind Folia - it's just the two of us working on something we love! We work on this site around our day jobs, and we think we've done a pretty good job so far.

Hi, I'm Nic - I'm one half of Folia. I am a software developer / interaction designer by day and a budding gardener by night (and any other time I can find).
That's me in the picture by the way - I think I had found my first ladybugs on my strawberry plants. Now if only I had somewhere to journal that...

Hey, Nath here - I'm the one helping Nic out with realising all the "crazy" ideas she keeps coming up with for the site.
I am a software developer too (lucky for Nic), however my only claim to gardening prowess is managing to look after the pocket-size zen garden I keep on my work desk.
Still, its better than nothing, and you have to start somewhere. Hope you enjoy the site!

Ook, ook ook ook. (Translation: Hi, I'm brunky the error monkey. I may pop up from time-to-time on the site, cos
Folia is still in beta. Hopefully not too much though!)

If you have any questions, need some help with setting up your gardens, or just want a chat about things you can always send us a note - we will be happy to help!
What the site will do (and what it won't).
We are going to be continuously developing the site - so what you see here is just the start of many of the ideas that are floating around our heads - we have some big plans for this little site!
You can instantly add any plants that you grow, no matter how weird and wonderful - you won't have to wait for us to add them in for you.
We will try to never clutter up the site with pesky flashing banner ads (not even the smack the monkey ones!) the only advertising you will see will be (hopefully) unobtrusive and relevant to you.
We will never give your details to anyone - we hate spam as much as you do and won't give your details to anyone else.
We will always keep the core part of our site free - you won't need to pay for a membership just to keep using the site.
