Your Data, Exports, and What Happens If You Cancel

GardenDraft's policy is simple: your data is yours, and canceling never takes it away. Current plans and pricing are on the pricing page.

Free vs. Grower

GardenDraft has a free account with no credit card and no trial countdown. It includes one garden with up to 3 beds, using the same planning tools as paid gardens: frost-aware scheduling, companion hints, the 3D view, succession planting, reminders, the journal, harvest log, seed inventory, and PDF exports. If you're new, getting started is the shortest path through setup.

Grower ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) lifts the capacity caps to unlimited gardens and unlimited beds. That's the only difference — there are no Grower-only features. Upgrade when you want to plan more than one garden (a front yard and a back plot, a community plot, or next year's garden alongside this one) or more than three beds in a garden. Manage your plan under Settings → Billing.

If you cancel

Cancel Grower and your account goes back to Free at the end of your paid period. Everything you made stays, and you can keep editing it. The Garden Book PDF and calendar feeds keep working too.

Adding gardens or beds past the free limits (1 garden, 3 beds per garden) needs Grower again. Manage or cancel your subscription under Settings → Billing, which opens the Stripe billing portal.

Getting your data out

• Garden Book — a per-year PDF of your beds (with diagrams), weekly schedule, and plant reference. Open Tasks & log → Garden Book and click Download PDF. The workflow lives with Tasks & log.
• Calendar export — open a garden's Settings → Export & sync. Download the calendar as a PDF, or copy the garden's feed link to see sow, transplant, and harvest dates in your calendar app. Add to Apple Calendar opens it directly; in Google Calendar, choose Other calendars → From URL and paste the link. If you shared a link by mistake, use Reset calendar links under Settings → Calendar subscription; old links stop working.

Deleting your account

Settings → Danger zone permanently deletes your account and all data — gardens, plantings, journal, everything. You'll type DELETE to confirm. This is immediate and can't be undone, so export your Garden Book first if you want a keepsake.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free version of GardenDraft?

Yes. A free account needs no credit card and includes one garden with up to 3 beds. The same planning tools work on that garden. Grower ($4.99/month or $29.99/year) lifts the caps to unlimited gardens and beds.

Do I lose my garden plans if I cancel GardenDraft?

No. Cancel Grower and your account goes back to Free. Everything you made stays, and you can keep editing it. Adding gardens or beds past the free limits (1 garden, 3 beds per garden) needs Grower again.

How do I export my GardenDraft data?

Two built-in exports: the Garden Book, a per-year PDF of your beds, schedule, and plant reference; and each garden's calendar, under Settings → Export & sync, as a PDF or a feed link you can add to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
