Garden Diary

Various private digital projects that are realized during late nights, on vacation or small gaps in everyday life.

The garden app for windows phone

When I worked at Microsoft, I built an app to photograph and document my plants in the garden. The app became very popular and appreciated. Unfortunately, Windows Phone was terminated as a phone and OS and thus the app no longer exists.

The Gardendiary synced all images and the database over Skydrive (now its called OneDrive

Microsoft officially closed the Windows Phone app store on December 16, 2019.

The garden app for windows 8

The app was using the same database as the phone app. The Metro design was at the time a big change in making native windows applications.

Multiple screenshoots of the app from 2013. All plants are from my own garden :-)
