What Australian gardeners say

Real growers, from Perth to Tasmania, using a calendar built for where they actually garden.

“I'd been gardening off American calendars for years and wondering why half my seeds bolted or rotted. Planting Season actually knows Perth. First season following its calendar, I got the best winter brassicas I've ever grown.”
Judith, Perth
“I killed every plant I touched and assumed I had a black thumb. Turns out I was just planting the wrong things at the wrong time. The app told me exactly what to put in this week, and I'm now eating my own lettuce and snow peas. Genuinely did not think that was possible for me.”
Marcus, Sydney
“We're 40 minutes from town with reception to match. Everything works out in the patch with zero bars, then syncs when I'm back at the house. It's the only garden app I've used that respects that not everyone has full signal in the veggie beds.”
Trish, Northern Rivers
“Dragging crops into the bed and seeing the companion warnings pop up has saved me from my usual chaos. I used to plant by vibes. Now I actually have a plan, and the watering reminders mean I stop drowning the seedlings.”
CJ, Melbourne
“Came for the veggie calendar, stayed for the flock tracker. I run six chooks and the 'can chickens eat this' checker settles every kitchen-scrap argument in our house. Didn't expect a garden app to also sort out the coop.”
Kaye, South East QLD
“Paid the $99 once and the harvest dashboard reckons I've already grown about $400 of veg this year. Best gardening money I've spent, and I'm not renting access to my own garden plan forever.”
Tracy, Adelaide
“I'd used a couple of the other planners. They felt like overseas tools with an Australian sticker on top. This one was clearly written here, for here. The variety recommendations are ones I can actually buy at my local nursery.”
Priya, Canberra
“The harvest calculator stopped me overplanting zucchini (mostly), and when the tomatoes all came at once the preserving picker told me exactly what to do with them. Pantry's full of passata now.”
Jack, Tasmania

Questions we keep getting

Is this a native app I have to download from the App Store?

Nope. It's a web app that installs to your phone home screen in one tap. No App Store, no 30% Apple tax, updates instantly. It runs offline just like a regular app.

Does it really work without internet?

Yes. Once installed, every plant, every calendar and every feature works in the garden shed with zero reception. Connect to the internet when you can and your garden backs up to your free account and syncs across your phone, tablet and computer, plus you unlock the cloud features like sharing and multi-device.

What regions does it cover?

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.

My area isn't listed. Will it be added?

More regions are on the way. Sign up for updates and we'll let you know the moment yours is ready. We build the regions people ask for first, so telling us where you garden moves it up the list.

Can I see it before I pay?

Yes. The free version has the core planner and is fully usable today. Try it here.
