garden: support work, simplified
Built for disability support providers

One workspace for your whole support practice

garden replaces the pile of separate apps you're stitching together (invoicing, scheduling, client records, HR and comms) with a single, self-hosted system your team actually wants to use. And Jen, your built-in AI assistant, helps triage the day so nothing falls through the cracks.

Why garden

Built at the kitchen table with a support worker, not in a product meeting

garden didn't start as a spec sheet. It started by sitting alongside a disability support worker and watching what their actual week looked like: a spreadsheet for budgets, a notes app for case notes, a group chat for the roster, and a folder of PDFs for agreements. None of it talked to each other, and all of it was on them.

Every module in garden exists because something in that workflow was broken, slow, or risky, and we built the fix with them, tested it against how they actually work, and kept going. It's still built that way: real feedback from real support work, not assumptions about what a support worker "probably" needs.

Shaped by real support work

Every feature traces back to a real task a real support worker needed done that week.

Still iterating alongside them

Changes get tried out in their day-to-day work before they're called done, not just reviewed in a design file.

Built for the work, not around it

garden fits how support work already happens, instead of asking support workers and clients to reshape their day around software.

Notes

Jordan M. · Tue 4:12pm
Great session. Daniel led the shopping list himself today.

Jen: Capacity Building spend is tracking 15% ahead of schedule, worth flagging at the next review.

Client portal

And this is what your client sees

A simple, no-login-required page shared with each participant: big text, plain language, high contrast. No account to create, no app to install, just a private link.

  • Today's plan, this week and this month, in plain language
  • Their own appointments, meal plan and shared documents
  • "Ask Jen": a place to jot down something to raise with their worker
  • Built to Atkinson Hyperlegible / accessibility standards, with a dark mode toggle

Security & compliance

Participant data deserves better than another SaaS subscription

garden is self-hosted by design: your data never leaves infrastructure you control, and access is scoped tightly by role.

Self-hosted, not cloud-rented

garden runs on your own server or machine. There's no vendor holding your participants' data, and no surprise pricing tiers.

No third-party data sharing

No analytics trackers, no ad networks, no data brokers. The only outbound connection is optional email delivery you control.

Role-based access

Support workers see their shifts and notes. Office staff see billing and rosters. Nobody sees more than their permissions allow.

Full audit trail

Every record change is logged: who, what, when. Built for NDIS compliance and practice-standard audits from day one.

AI assistant

Meet Jen

Jen lives inside garden and keeps an eye on the things that are easy to lose track of: who's overloaded, what's overdue, and what should actually happen next. She only acts on what you approve.

Low today, so Jen trims tomorrow's roster by one non-urgent visit.

Reads a message or note and drafts the task or appointment for you.

Reschedule → Daniel R., Thu 2:00pm

Everything Jen suggests goes into a queue for a human to approve, edit or dismiss. She never sends, bills or reschedules anything on her own.

Training modules, built into the same workspace

We're adding onboarding and ongoing training content directly into garden, so induction, compliance refreshers and skill sign-off live alongside the people and records they apply to, instead of yet another portal to log into.
