Learning for all ages & abilities

Built for every gardener.

Young or old, complete beginner or old hand — Hortly meets what you already know and grows with you, whatever you're starting from.

Just starting

Never grown a thing

Begin with the gentlest basics — no jargon, no assumptions. Sprig walks you through your very first seed.

Getting confident

A few plants in

Fill the gaps and turn happy accidents into real understanding, so your garden thrives on purpose.

Seasoned grower

Years in the soil

Go deeper on design, wildlife and technique — skip what you know and sharpen what you don't.

How it works

Three steps to a greener thumb.

Hortly builds real skill the way a good game does — a little at a time, with a reward you can see growing.

1

Learn a little every day

Short, playful lessons take you from the very basics to real technique — one bite at a time.

2

Earn seeds as you grow

Finish a lesson, earn seeds. Keep a streak, earn more. Sprig cheers you on the whole way.

3

Grow your own garden

Spend your seeds to plant and design a garden that's truly yours — and watch it flourish as your skills do.

Why it sticks

Everything you need to actually learn.

Not just facts to memorise — a whole world that rewards you for turning knowledge into habit.

Learn by doing

Every skill moves from recall to applying it for real, so what you learn genuinely sticks.

A garden you design

Choose your setting and arrange every plant, tree and feature exactly how you like it.

Wildlife companions

Garden for bees, birds and butterflies — earn them as friends and they'll come to visit.

Find your path

Follow Wildlife, Maintenance, Landscape or Design — or wander freely between them.

Set your own pace

Pick how many minutes a day you want to learn, and build a streak you'll want to keep.

Meet Sprig

Your sprout-sized guide, cheering every win and nudging you back for the next one.

Real plants, real photos

Learn to recognise what you grow.

Hortly teaches from a rich photo library — so you learn the real thing, not a cartoon of it.

Garden visitors

Meet the friends you'll garden for.

Learn what brings them in, and they'll come to your garden. Say hello to a few of Hortly's characters.
