Why does Australia need regional planners?
Because every garden planner out there is built for American frost dates or treats "Australia" as one climate. It's not. A Brisbane gardener and a Hobart gardener are in completely different worlds. Planting Season is built from the ground up for real Australian regions, where summer can be the tricky season, tomatoes sometimes go in autumn, garlic is planted at Easter, and pest pressures differ everywhere. Finally, a tool that gets it.

10 climate regions across Australia: Darwin, North QLD, South East QLD, Northern Rivers, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Hobart. Each has its own planting calendar tuned to local conditions.
