Find your garden's zones
The Zone System divides your garden into three zones — Zone 1, 2, and 3 — so your attention goes where it matters most, instead of spreading evenly across everything.
For each part of your garden, tap the attention it asks for. Some need your hands daily, some a weekly pass, and some just your watchful eye — none of them need neglect.
