About GrowSmart: Garden Planner
Grow your own groceries, from spring seeds to fall harvest. GrowSmart plans your garden beds, tells you what to do each week, and remembers what grew where, so next spring starts with last year's history. Start planning for free. Add up to 10 plants and get your spring planting schedule, plus fall garlic and shallots. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited plants, summer and fall schedules, succession planting and the full companion matrix. No account, email or credit card required to start. WHAT YOU GET • Your plants, not a short list. 196 vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers, including garlic, strawberries and tomatillos. Can't find yours? Add your own plant and GrowSmart schedules it. • Timed for where you garden. Planting dates use 1991 to 2020 climate normals from nearby weather stations, with your USDA hardiness zone, in °F or °C. • Your season at a glance. Every sow, transplant and harvest window on one timeline: spring on the free plan, spring to fall on Pro. • A to-do list for the garden. This Week shows what to sow, transplant, water, feed and harvest. Finish a whole group of tasks with one tap. • Your garden is saved. It saves on your phone as you go and works offline. Sign in for free to sync it across your devices. RAISED BED PLANNER, DRAWN TO SCALE Lay out raised beds, rows and containers with drag and drop. GrowSmart shows the spacing each plant needs and how many fit per square foot, and flags poor companions and crops that come back to the same spot too soon. One bed on the free plan, unlimited beds on Pro. CROP ROTATION MEMORY (INCLUDED FREE) GrowSmart remembers what grew in every square. Start a new year and your beds are saved to History, and the planner warns you before you plant the same crop family in the same spot within two years. Garlic and shallots planted in fall stay in place. COMPANION PLANTING WITH REASONS See which plants help each other, which conflict, and why. Reasons are checked against university extension sources. Basic companion info on the free plan, the full matrix on Pro. SUCCESSION PLANTING (PRO) Repeat sowings of lettuce, beans, radishes and other quick crops are scheduled for you, so the harvest keeps coming. WHERE THE DATES COME FROM NOAA and Environment Canada 1991 to 2020 climate normals from nearby stations. Local conditions can vary. SHARE YOUR PLAN Share any bed as a picture of your planner, ready to send by Messages or email. SAGE, YOUR AI GARDEN ASSISTANT (PRO + SAGE) Ask garden questions in plain language. Sage knows your city, your planting calendar, what is in each bed and what grew there last year. Try 3 questions free with a free account. PLANS Free: up to 10 plants and one bed, the spring schedule, fall garlic and shallots, and crop rotation memory. Pro: plan your whole growing season. Unlimited plants, spring, summer and fall schedules, repeat sowings to keep harvesting longer, and the full companion planting matrix. Pro + Sage: everything in Pro, plus Sage with 50 questions a month. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings. Built in Ontario by a Canadian gardener. Terms of Use: https://getgrowsmart.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://getgrowsmart.com/privacy
