Who it is for

For everyone who grows their own

From your first balcony box to a large kitchen garden – the app grows with you.

Balcony & terrace

Even a few pots deserve smart planning – with the right spot and the right neighbours.

Home garden

Multiple beds, crop rotation and a clear overview of your whole gardening year in one place.

Self-sufficiency

Harvest more, buy less – with a plan instead of guesswork, season after season.

What makes it special

Plan, combine, care – thought through from the start

Real permaculture thinking – visual, clear and to the point.

Visual bed planning

Draw beds at true scale – round, square or freeform. Place plants to scale, zoom into your whole garden and even view it in augmented reality in your real space. The way only expensive pro tools used to.

Companion planting that thinks

Which plants get along – and which do not. Good and bad neighbours, crop rotation and recommendations right in your bed, instead of buried in guides.

Seasonal care calendar

What is due today, this week, this month? Sow, water, harvest – with weather, frost alerts and reminders, tuned to your climate zone.
