The Garden Planner is web-based software that puts the information you need at your fingertips while planning a productive garden. A comprehensive selection of vegetables, fruit, herbs and companion planting flowers are available complete with Grow Guides. It's easy to sketch out your garden area, add objects such as raised beds and compost bins and rearrange items for the perfect layout.
As plants are added, the Garden Planner automatically spaces them correctly, calculating how many will fit into each space. By using data from local weather stations, the best planting dates for your local area are shown and the system can send you email reminders of what to plant through the season. You can allocate plants to be in the ground during different months and view how your garden changes, making it easy to organize succession planting.
When planning the next season's garden, the system copies the layout, remembering where plants were in previous years and advising where to place them based on the principles of crop rotation.
In this video we present a quick overview of the Garden Planner features and show how it can save you time and money when planning your perfect vegetable, herb and fruit garden.
Our online Garden Planner is available from several major websites and seed suppliers:

Thanks guys!! I have been growing a community garden for 2 years without much guidance and improvising and things were quite difficult, we weren't keeping track of what was growing were, our yield was really low but it was too much... to start learning the gardening side and try to reach out to volunteers and keep them busy... I have a plot now, so I can learn it all and then get back to the community with a bit more knowledge! :)
I tried the web for a week and watched all your videos and I got really excited about the garden! Definitely bought the subscription for the 2 years, you have made the tough managing part look like a game! Thanks sooo much! Still need to learn how to keep track with photos and notes... but the videos are great for tips!Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, it's appreciated. We're really pleased to hear it's all proving useful - that's what we always aim for. :-)
This makes the idea of starting a garden much less fearsome! I'm eager to give it a try with just a little plot and a lot of hope. Thank you!
Ahhhh, organization. I need this as I've struggled my first few years of gardening with where to plant, what to plant "next" and how to rotate. I also didn't think through the placement of stepping stones, etc...this will help tremendously.
I must get this for my community garden plot! The past two years my garden has been a haphazard mess, I'm looking forward to having a proper plan! Thanks!
Planning certainly helps - we originally designed this for our own gardens because we realised the need for good planning. Good luck with your plot this year!
Awesome!
Wish you could include vertical gardening as well as container gardening. These days land is scarce, especially in crowded cities. Urban farming is now the new trend and many live in apartments that have no access to rooftops, or that rooftop gardening is only meant for communities, not individuals. It would be nice also if it included sun, soil and watering requirement for plants.
Representing vertical growing would be tricky, as obviously everything occupies the same piece of land. One option would be to create a plan for a wall/walls that shows your vertical plantings horizontal across the plan, simply for the purposes of planning etc.
good idea! Thank you! Is the app available for android? Thanks again! :)
It's not available for android, but the full Garden Planner can be used on any computer through the web-based subscription service. Head to: www.growveg.com

Is there a feature that tells you what not to plant with eachother or suggests companion plants?
I know it mentioned. Rop rotation but what about avoidance/companion?
Cheers
Hi Nicole. There is a companion planting feature - you select it and it will show you what grows well with a selected crop. It's a really useful feature. We haven't done avoidance as there aren't many plants that really directly slow another's growth, outside of shading etc.
Where can I find this ? What is the name in play store ?

Unfortunately, it's somewhat useless for me. Though I have a proper in ground garden I also have massively expanded it using above ground facilities. I have 20 very large hanging planters for herbs, and I have many very large pots containing 4 cubic feet of soil each. I saw no facility in this video to include such an arrangement. I love the idea though and would be interested if these items were available for inclusion in my planning.
+ArJuna22 You can select, place and resize various types of container onto your garden plan. These do include hanging baskets and various types of planter, so you can add these to a plan and then add the crops you want to grow into them.
#ArJuna22 Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else trying to find out ideas for landscaping small yards try Loctavan Beautiful Landscape Strategy (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cousin got amazing results with it.
Why don't you create another garden layout/page for all the hanging plants?
Hello! Great concept!
I would like to know if it the software is suitable to use for other regions such as India? Would all the calculations you use for bed planning, distances etc. be remain same for India too. Thanks!
The software is suitable for all regions of the world. It uses your location to take into account your local climate and adjusts sowing and planting times accordingly. Calculations remain the same wherever you are and you can choose between metric (metres and centimetres) or imperial (feet and inches).
Thank you so much...That helps!!
Woodglut comes with very useful plans with all the details you need.
When I try to add vegetables to my containers, they drop under the container object.
It sounds like you may have a Layer Lock selected. The Layer Lock makes it easier to work with a particular ‘layer’ of your plan (for instance Plants or Layout) without accidentally selecting a different layer. When a layer has been selected, all other layers are ‘grayed out’ on your plan and are non-selectable.
To deselect the Layer Lock, click on the Layer Lock dropdown box in your plan’s toolbar, and select All Layers.
If you continue to have problems then please do not hesitate to get in touch with customer service who we will be able to take a look at your plan and see what’s going on.
GrowVeg ... awesome! Thank you! This is a great tool
seems wonderful but my garden is mostly in containers, any way to change the measurements to inches instead of feet?
The plans do work to feet, as this is usually the most convenient measure for most people, even with containers. The software includes lots of containers, pots, troughs etc. - so is ideal for anyone who gardens mostly in containers.
thanks ill work around i it! appreciate the quick response
Hello from New Zealand, will the calendar auto adjust fir Southern hemisphere gardens? Thanks.
I don't have personal experience with this, as I am in the Northern Hemisphere, but you select your specific location in the program and that's how it determines your frost dates and when you should plant/harvest. You're also able to select the dates yourself if you prefer. You could always use their 30 day free trial to play around with it too. Hope that helps!
Just starting trial.
please tell me the plants and all items are searchable.
You can use the letters below the selection bar to skip to plants and items starting with that letter. This saves a lot of time.
Your garden planner looks great but it's not HTML5. :(
Hello i am wondering after thee years why is their not an android version of this i want to buy but i hate iphone and dont own a computer.
Hi Kevin. This is something we want to pursue, but time and resources are currently diverted elsewhere. In the meantime, please do consider our online version of the Garden Planner, which has many additional functions, including companion planting and filter options.

Is there an app for this???!! I have no access currently to a computer, is there an iOS app for this??!!!! And how well does it work? does anyone know
Becca Lynn Hi Becca, yes there's an app for iOS called Garden Plan Pro. At the moment it doesn't have all the features of the online version (such as Garden Objects) but we're working hard to add those.
+GrowVeg Thank you for letting me know. The main reason I need it for crop rotation planning
not sure which app to download, all using same name, confusing icon/logo ....
Head to our website, which should explain everything clearly: www.growveg.com
What version of Garden Planner are you using. Mine does not have a lot of these features. I went to the download link you provided @ Mother Earth News, and it is the same version that I have installed 3.7.3.
Hi there. What's being shown in the video is the online Garden Planner subscription service. The full details of this are here: www.growveg.com/subscribeinfo.aspx where you can also start a free trial of the full version.

This video simply "sells" the planner, but there is nothing that actually tells one how to use the features. I'm stuck and the non-interactive "guide" is not helpful at all. Worthless. +
