Monthly Picks · This month
Generic advice — Gardeners got generic, one-size-fits-all advice that ignored where and when they were planting.
Eyden — AI Gardening Copilot
Exarth designed and built Eyden (SeedsWild AI) — a gardener's command center. It gives location-based monthly, annual, lunar and sowing calendars, a virtual garden planner with AI-driven tasks, and a conversational assistant to guide every plant through its whole season.

Overview/ 01
A command center for the whole growing season
Eyden is a location-aware AI gardening copilot. It tells gardeners what to grow this month, plans the whole year, follows the lunar cycle, schedules sowing for the plants they own, and turns a garden's size into a virtual layout with AI-driven tasks.
Exarth designed and built the platform end to end — location-based recommendation calendars, a virtual garden planner with companion-aware layouts and tasks, and a conversational assistant — into one calm, capable gardener's command center.

Challenge & solution
Generic gardening tips, or a copilot for your garden
Gardeners juggled generic tips, missed sowing windows and paper sketches — with no tool that knew their location, plants or garden.
- Generic advice
- Missed windows
- Paper planning
Annual Plan · Whole year
No big picture — There was no way to see the whole year ahead, so planning was reactive and disorganised.
Lunar Calendar · Moon cycle
Ignored cycle — Lunar gardeners had no tool that aligned tasks to the moon's phases.
Sowing Calendar · When to sow
Missed windows — Gardeners missed sowing windows for the plants they already owned, losing the season.
No core
No shared platform
Fragmented systems
GenericGuidance0Garden context
Virtual Garden · Layout
Paper sketches — Planning a garden meant paper sketches that never matched the real space or beds.
Garden Planner · Beds & plants
Guess placement — Plant placement was guesswork, ignoring companions, spacing and bed density.
AI Tasks · Guidance
No to-dos — Even with a plan, gardeners had no clear, timely tasks to actually act on.
Chat with Eyden · Assistant
Endless searching — Questions sent gardeners searching across forums with conflicting, generic answers.
