hortlog

A living record for botanical collections

hortlog gives every specimen its own page — identification, provenance, conservation status — readable from a QR code at the vantage point, however far back the plant is planted.

The problem with plant labels

Most labels stand too far from the path to read. When you can read one, it carries a fixed name and a date — nothing more.

1

Scan the code

One QR code at the vantage point covers every specimen visible from where you stand. No app to install.

2

See what's in the view

A grid or list of every specimen placed in that view, laid out the way the garden staff decided.

3

Read the full record

Scientific name, family, origin, conservation status, planting notes — updated whenever the record changes.

Built for gardens that take records seriously

From a single Quercus robur to a glasshouse bed of ten thousand specimens — hortlog scales to your collection.
