Frequently Asked Questions
How does Plan My Garden work?
Choose a Quick Start template or pick individual crops from the season browser. Set your region and family size. The planner generates a personalised garden plan with plant counts, spacing, bed area, companion planting groups, and a month-by-month planting timeline.
What are Quick Start templates?
Pre-built garden plans designed around themes. Salad Garden gives you leafy greens and salad vegetables. Winter Staples picks cool-season crops. Stir-fry Garden is Asian greens and stir-fry ingredients. Family Favourites covers the crops Australian families grow most. Herb Haven is all culinary herbs. Root Cellar focuses on root vegetables and storage crops.
Does this work for all Australian regions?
Yes. The planner covers all 10 growing regions from Darwin to Hobart. Sow times, season filters, and crop availability all adjust based on your region.
What does "Surprise Me" do?
It builds a diverse, balanced garden plan using crops you can plant right now in your region. The algorithm picks a mix of categories (leafy greens, fruiting, root, herbs) and prioritises good companion planting combinations. Every time you click it, you get a different plan.
