It's time to plan your garden!

August 29, 2022

Have you made your garden plan? Now that it’s early spring, let’s get motivated and walk around the garden to visualize your plans and bring them to life.

Even if the weather outside is frightful, planning your garden is so delightful! Now is your chance to let your imagination run wild and create plans for that garden of Eden you’ve always wanted. Time to get inspired!

Ben helps us understand how to plan by sharing his hopes and dreams for his own garden. Our trusty online Garden Planner is now iPad compatible; Ben also demonstrates how you can take the garden with you and bring your plans into being.

Now you can not only apply the companion planting technique, but also know that you’re using proven, reliable information, based on agricultural research on which plants help and are helped by each other. No guesswork needed! We’ve done all the research so you don’t have to. Plus, the Garden Planner software makes applying this wisdom so simple with an integrated “companion planting” feature; it just takes the touch of a finger.

3. Track Progress With the Garden Journal

Becoming a better gardener is all about learning from your own garden. The “Garden Journal” tool now allows users to effortlessly record their garden’s progress right from a smartphone, iPad, or computer!

It’s so fun and useful to take photos right in the garden and add notes along the way. This way, you have all the photos and notes in the context of your garden’s progress! The Garden Planner will summarize each plant’s progress for next year’s planning. Then, when planning on your computer or iPad, the Garden Planner shows a complete summary of what worked and how much you harvested.
