## Tools (6)

- `find_city`: Find g4rden's growing guides by place name, or the nearest guides to a latitude/longitude. Returns slugs to use with the other tools. Covers 400+ cities worldwide.
- `get_city_guide`: A city's growing guide as Markdown: average last and first frost dates (from a nearby weather station where there is one), the frost-free season, hardiness zone, climate, and the crops that suit it.
- `get_pest`: A garden pest or disease as Markdown: how to recognise it, which plants it attacks, and a treatment ladder from least to most drastic. Covers 46 common pests and diseases with treatment advice and about 390 plant-health records (host plants, where recorded, regulatory status) by common or scientific name.
- `get_plant`: How to grow a plant (vegetable, herb, fruit or flower) as Markdown: spacing, sun, water, timing relative to frost, companions and pests.
- `planner_link`: A link that opens g4rden's free garden planner already set to a city or location, for the person to open themselves. Creates nothing: the person decides whether to make an account.
- `what_to_plant`: What to start indoors, sow outdoors or plant out in a given city and month, as Markdown, from that city's own frost dates. Months with nothing new to sow say so and point to the next sowing month.
