How it works

Visitor Donations
– 100% to the Garden

Our app includes gentle, optional donation prompts for visitors who wish to give back. These are shown after completing a session.Even small contributions can add up to something meaningful. If just 10% of your visitors, around 65,000 people, try the experience, and only 1% of them choose to donate €10 through the app, your garden could receive €6,500 in donations over time.We see this as more than a product, it's a way to help your garden grow.
