BOTANIQ
Nature, intelligently managed.
A digital groundskeeper: observation, weather, soil, sensor and care data brought together so decisions are made at the level of a plant, a bed, a zone or an entire estate.
The same platform serves one border and a whole estate. Professional grounds management, made usable by somebody with a single garden.
Partnering for development. Seeking a leader and field-trial partners.
The challenge
Plants fail slowly and then all at once. Stress, pests and soil problems are spotted late, and watering, feeding and maintenance run on habit and a fixed calendar rather than on what is actually happening in the ground.
The problem
The calendar no longer works
Climate variability, water scarcity and biodiversity obligations mean a fixed maintenance schedule is now a guess. Healthy landscapes need decisions that answer to local conditions.
Knowledge is fragmented and personal
What to plant, when to feed, how to treat. It sits in forums, garden centres, word of mouth and the head of whoever has looked after the place longest.
Waste is the default
Overwatering, unnecessary chemicals and replacing plants that could have been saved. All of it costs money, and most of it is avoidable with earlier information.
What it does
Nature, intelligently managed.
Plant inventory and health
What is planted, where, and how each specimen is actually doing, tracked rather than remembered.
Soil, irrigation and weather
Local conditions read together, so watering answers to the ground and the forecast instead of the day of the week.
Pest and disease guidance
Stress patterns identified early, with treatment guidance before the problem becomes a replacement cost.
Seasonal planning
Tasks prioritised across the year and across the site, so limited labour goes where it changes the outcome.
Records and resource tracking
Maintenance history, biodiversity and resource use recorded as evidence, which increasingly has to be produced rather than asserted.
Who it is for
Estates and facilities
Managers accountable for grounds they cannot personally inspect, across sites that do not behave the same way.
Councils, parks and campuses
Public landscapes carrying biodiversity duties and a budget that has not moved with them.
Grounds contractors
Horticultural teams who need consistency across clients and evidence of what was done.
Homeowners and growers
The same core platform at the other end of the scale, for people with one garden and community growers with a shared plot.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a leader.
Someone who lives in horticulture: a head gardener, a grounds contractor, an estate manager or a community organiser who already knows where the gaps are. We are also looking for estates, parks teams and sensor partners willing to run a field trial.
People are our business. Collaboration is our culture.
Partners, investors and operators who know this market. If BOTANIQ is your world, there is a way in.
