How it works
Take a photo of your yard, beds or balcony. We estimate the size and how much sun it gets. You confirm the details.
Salsa? Salads? Flowers for the bees? Pick your goals and favorite plants, and add your ZIP code for your local climate.
A layout, planting calendar, shopping list and care schedule, all built for your space and your season.
What you get
Square-by-square bed plans with tall crops on the north side and proper spacing.
When to start seeds, plant out and harvest, timed to your ZIP code's frost dates.
Seeds, plants, soil and supplies with quantities and rough costs. No guesswork.
A short email each week with exactly what to do in your garden, and nothing else.
Yellow leaves? Missed a date? Get answers that know your plants and your zone.
Track what you picked and what worked, so next year's garden is even better.
Pick a garden that sounds fun. We'll tailor it to your space and climate. Or see what other gardeners are growing.
Yes. Creating a plan is free and you don't need an account to start. Save it to My Garden (also free) to get weekly reminders and track tasks.
That's exactly who it's for. Tell us you're new and we'll favor forgiving plants, buy-ready starts and a garden size you can actually keep up with.
We find the NOAA weather station nearest your ZIP code and use its 30-year frost dates and temperatures. Know your exact local dates? You can adjust them.
Container gardens are fully supported. We pick compact varieties and tell you how many plants fit in each pot size.
Yes. Choose Indoors and tell us which way your window faces, your pot size and whether you have a grow light. We'll pick herbs and greens that suit your light (and your pets), and give you a year-round sowing and care calendar.
It's used to estimate your space's size and sunlight. We keep only a small thumbnail on your plan, never the original.
Two minutes now saves a season of guesswork. Start with a photo, or just your ZIP code.
