Crop rotation planner (algorithm)
You don't have to remember what grew in which bed last year. The automatic crop rotation planner is an algorithm — it reliably keeps the planting breaks and rotates your beds automatically, year after year.
Companion planting planner (algorithm)
Everything from the crop rotation planner, plus a look at the neighbours: the automatic companion planting planner considers plants that get along and avoids ones that get in each other's way.
Permanent bed planner
There's a dedicated planner for your perennial plants. It places permanent residents like strawberries or rhubarb in the right spot, with the best companions side by side.
Manual crop rotation planning (with assistant)
You plan your bed yourself, entirely to your taste. If a combination doesn't work, the assistant tells you before you plant – but the decision is yours.
Manual companion planting (with assistant)
The app doesn't just tell you which plants go well together, but also why: keeping pests away, adding nitrogen, or avoiding diseases.
Create growing areas, including special shapes
Not every growing area is a rectangle. You can also create your areas in an L, T, or U shape – for the corners and angles that real gardens have.
Large plans with many sub-areas
Also for really large areas: from a herb bowl to a field. Whether raised bed, flat bed, or large open areas like a whole field – plan everything from the smallest area to huge growing areas with up to 24 sub-areas per plan.
Create group
Several small areas can be combined into one group and planned together – as if they were a single bed.
Garden editor with measuring tape
You can plan your garden to the centimetre in the 3D view. It helps you find the right spot for new growing areas, gives you a good overview of your garden, and makes using most of GrowSimply's features comfortable.
Create your own plants and varieties
A template becomes your own variety: give it the name from the seed packet and your own photo, and you'll recognise it everywhere, every time.
Plant data with adjustment wizard
Instead of rigid database values, you get templates that you adapt to your variety and your climate. Your figures then feed directly into the calculation.
3D garden
Your garden in 3D, with shadows cast throughout the whole year – you see which bed really gets enough sun. From the plant spacing, the app works out straight away how many plants fit on your area.
Sunshine hours map
Tap a spot in your garden and find out how many hours of sunshine it gets per day – and which of your plants like exactly that spot.
Weather integration (real-time)
The plan says May, the weather says May 23. Real weather data determines the timing – not the calendar month. Warnings: if a storm is brewing or frost is threatening, you get notified – by email or on Telegram, whichever you prefer.
Sowing calendar
A sowing calendar is like a good “cheat sheet” for the vegetable garden: it tells you which vegetable to pre-grow (indoors), sow directly (into the bed), or transplant outside – so the seeds turn into a harvest. With GrowSimply, you always have it up to date and close at hand.
To-do lists
You see what's coming up next. You can also create your own lists and tasks.
Share to-dos
Share your to-do lists with garden helpers or garden friends, so others can also see and take care of what's coming up.
