GARDENING ADVICE AND AI DISCLAIMER: This app is provided STRICTLY for educational, entertainment, and informational purposes only and is NOT a substitute for professional horticultural, agricultural, botanical, landscaping, or any other professional advice. This app is an EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT TOOL ONLY. AI technology can and does make mistakes, and ALL information provided by this app - including but not limited to plant identifications, gardening advice, planting recommendations, planting schedules, companion planting suggestions, pest/disease diagnoses, treatment recommendations, harvest estimates, and any other output - may contain significant errors, inaccuracies, or be completely incorrect. ALL INFORMATION PROVIDED IS APPROXIMATE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON FOR ANY CRITICAL PURPOSE. We do not guarantee the accuracy, precision, or correctness of any information provided by the app. You MUST NOT rely on this app for: (1) identifying whether plants are safe to eat, touch, or handle; (2) diagnosing plant diseases that may affect food safety; (3) determining pesticide or chemical treatments; (4) any purpose requiring certified or expert horticultural advice; (5) commercial farming or agricultural decisions; (6) any situation where incorrect advice could cause harm to persons, animals, property, or the environment. You MUST consult professional horticulturists, agronomists, certified master gardeners, local agricultural extension services, or other qualified professionals for any advice that matters. We take ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSIBILITY for any errors in identification, diagnosis, or advice.
CRITICAL HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNING: NEVER eat, consume, touch, handle, or apply any plant, substance, treatment, or product based solely on information provided by this app. AI-generated plant identifications may be INCORRECT and could lead to SERIOUS INJURY, ILLNESS, POISONING, ALLERGIC REACTIONS, OR DEATH if you consume or handle misidentified plants. ALWAYS verify plant identification with a qualified professional before consuming or handling any plant. We have ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY for any health consequences, injuries, poisoning, allergic reactions, or death resulting from reliance on this app's plant identifications or recommendations.
SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS:
- Eating and handling plants: The plant identification and assistant features can name the wrong plant, and many edible plants have toxic look-alikes. Do not eat, touch, or use a plant as a remedy because of what the App says. Crop guides and assistant answers do not list every toxic part or allergen, and some crops have edible parts and toxic parts on the same plant
- Pets and children: Do not use the App to decide whether a plant is safe around pets or children. A missing warning does not mean that a plant is safe. If a person or pet may have swallowed a toxic plant or product, contact your local emergency number, poison control center, or a veterinarian immediately
- Garden chemicals and treatments: Pest and disease diagnoses can be wrong, and treatment suggestions may not suit your plants, your food crops, or your local rules. Follow the product label, including how long to wait before harvest, and use the protective equipment it calls for. Do not treat food crops on the App's advice alone
- Food safety: Planting dates, harvest dates, and plant health diagnoses do not tell you whether produce is safe to eat. Check produce yourself, and discard anything that may be spoiled, diseased, or contaminated

AI LIMITATIONS AND ERRORS: The AI technology used in this app (Google Gemini AI and/or OpenAI (ChatGPT)) can and WILL make mistakes. AI-generated plant identifications, gardening advice, planting recommendations, pest/disease diagnoses, companion planting suggestions, harvest estimates, and all other app outputs may contain significant errors, inaccuracies, or be completely incorrect. AI output is NOT accurate and should NOT be treated as professional, certified, or authoritative advice.

You MUST consult professional horticulturists, agronomists, or local agricultural extension services for any advice that matters. We have ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY for any errors, inaccuracies, or incorrect information produced by AI services. DO NOT rely on this app for food safety, plant toxicity identification, chemical treatment decisions, or any purpose where incorrect information could cause harm to persons, animals, property, or the environment.
