Plan one real garden for free.
Start with the bed you are planting this spring. Add crops, see their spacing on the layout, and get a calendar that counts from your local spring and fall frost dates instead of a generic zone chart.
What the first plan includes
- A drag-and-drop bed designer — raised beds, rows, and containers
- Sow, transplant, and harvest dates calculated from local frost records
- Companion-planting hints sourced from Cornell, Rodale, OSU, and UC IPM
- The interactive 3D view of your beds
- Succession planting and a planting calendar
- Email reminders, a photo journal, harvest log, and PDF exports
The limit is capacity: one garden with up to 3 beds. Need more beds, or want to plan this year and next year side by side? Grower lifts the caps to unlimited gardens and beds for $4.99/mo or $29.99/yr. See full pricing or the complete feature list.
A small example
For a 4×8 raised bed with tomatoes, basil, peppers, and marigolds, GardenDraft stores the bed dimensions, plant footprints, companion notes, and every date that falls out of the plan. Change the postal code or override a frost date, and the calendar changes with it.
Common questions
- What does the free account include?
- A free account needs no credit card and includes one garden with up to 3 beds. The same planning tools work on that garden: layout, dates, reminders, records, and exports.
- What changes when I upgrade?
- Capacity. Free covers one garden with up to three beds. If you want to plan multiple gardens or more beds, Grower lifts the caps for $4.99/month or $29.99/year.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. GardenDraft runs in any modern browser and was built for phones first, so you can design a bed on your phone right in the garden. Native iOS and Android apps are in progress.
- What happens to my plan if I never upgrade?
- It stays in your account. If you ever upgrade and later cancel, your plans, photos, and history remain viewable; editing above the free limits pauses until you resubscribe.
