203 cards
This deck is a friendly starting point for anyone curious about the basics of growing plants. It introduces core gardening and horticulture concepts, from the differences between annuals, biennials, and perennials, to the practical terms you'll hear at any nursery, like hardiness zones, microclimates, and the various levels of sun and shade a garden spot might offer. You'll also explore how plants work, beginning with the fundamentals of photosynthesis.
The cards are well suited for beginners, new gardeners planning their first beds, or anyone who wants to feel more confident reading plant tags and seed catalogs. If you are studying horticulture formally or just want a shared vocabulary for gardening with friends and family, these flashcards give you a clear foundation to build on.
To get the most out of your study sessions, try reviewing a small batch of cards each day rather than cramming everything at once. Spaced repetition works especially well for vocabulary like this, where short definitions are easier to remember when you revisit them over several days. As you learn each term, try pointing it out in a real garden, on a seed packet, or in a plant description online so the ideas stick in context.
