Tomato + Basil — beneficial companions. Basil repels aphids.

Most gardens die on the kitchen table — long before anything's in the soil.

It's not your green thumb. It's the 14 browser tabs, the YouTube rabbit holes, and the seed packets that never say where or when.

The fix isn't more effort. It's a plan that thinks for you.

1,000+ plants. Every one with a plan.

Sun, spacing, companions, frost dates, pests — every guide is a full growing plan, not a Wikipedia stub.

Who grows with us

Real gardeners, real gardens. From first-time balcony growers to 20-year allotment veterans.

SK

Sophie

Berlin, Germany

Balcony Garden6 plants

“I've never grown anything. I have a 4×3 balcony and zero confidence. Every guide online assumed I had a backyard.”

Grew basil and cherry tomatoes from seed. First harvest in 10 weeks.

Key: Companion planting told me what to pair — I didn't kill a single plant.

JW

James

Portland, Oregon

Backyard Plot28 plants

“I waste $300 every spring on plants that die. I never know what to plant when, and my timing is always off.”

Stopped guessing. Saved $200 on wasted seeds. Doubled my tomato yield.

Key: The planting calendar matched to my zone told me exactly when to sow.

MR

Maria

Valencia, Spain

Community Allotment45 plants

“I manage a 15-member community garden. Coordinating plot layouts over WhatsApp was chaos.”

We plan, share, and coordinate all in one place. 15 members, one beautiful garden.

Key: Publishing gardens and sharing them with the group saved hours every week.

TH

Tomoko

London, UK

Rooftop Containers12 plants

“My flat has a tiny rooftop terrace. I wanted herbs and salad greens but had no idea how to use the space.”

Planned a 2×3m container setup. Growing 8 herbs and 4 salad varieties year-round.

Key: The container and balcony templates gave me a ready layout I just customized.

CG

Carlos

Mexico City, Mexico

Urban Raised Beds32 plants

“I built three raised beds in my courtyard but kept planting things that competed with each other.”

The companion checker caught 4 bad pairings I didn't know about. Everything survived this season.

Key: Red conflict warnings saved my pepper crop from fennel allelopathy.

ET

Emma

Manchester, UK

School Garden20 plants

“I coordinate a primary school garden with 60 kids. I needed something visual they could understand.”

Kids drag plants onto the grid themselves. They get excited about companion hearts showing up.

Key: The visual editor is intuitive enough for 8-year-olds to use in class.

DM

David

Brisbane, Australia

Retirement Garden40 plants

“I retired and finally had time for a serious vegetable garden. But I'm in zone 10 — most tools are US-centric.”

PlotMyGarden auto-detected my zone. I'm growing tropical varieties I didn't know I could.

Key: Zone filtering + greenhouse mode unlocked plants I'd never considered.

AK

Aisha

Dubai, UAE

Indoor Herbs8 plants

“45°C outside means everything grows indoors for me. I needed a planner that understood greenhouse growing.”

Used greenhouse mode to shift my zone. Growing mint, basil, and coriander year-round indoors.

Key: Greenhouse zone shifting showed me exactly what's viable under cover.

MV

Marcus

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Allotment Veteran55 plants

“I've gardened for 20 years but still used graph paper to plan layouts. Scaling and spacing was always a pain.”

Planned my 8×12m allotment in 30 minutes. The grid snaps spacing automatically.

Key: Exporting to PDF and pinning the plan to my shed wall is the best feature.

LB

Lisa

Vermont, USA

Family Homestead35 plants

“I grow food for a family of five. Frost dates are brutal here and I always plant too early.”

The frost warnings saved my tomato seedlings twice this spring. Best $0 I ever spent.

Key: Weather alerts warned me the night before a late frost. I covered everything in time.

“I started gardening at 45 with zero experience. I was overwhelmed by planting dates, spacing rules, and which plants go together. PlotMyGarden's visual planner and companion suggestions turned my 2×3 meter raised bed into a tomato paradise. I harvested 8kg of tomatoes in my first season.”
