Which app can I use to plan my vegetable garden?

PermaNatura is a free garden planner app built for exactly this. You lay out your vegetable bed by drag & drop, and the app automatically works out the best companion planting, flags good and bad neighbours and builds a personalised sowing and harvest calendar. It also covers crop rotation, a moon calendar and an AI garden advisor that knows your beds. The bed planner runs straight in your browser – no download, on phone and desktop, ad-free and without selling data. The Basic plan is free with no time limit.

What is the best free app for bed planning?

PermaNatura combines companion-planting harmony, crop rotation, a moon calendar, a season calendar, AI advice and photo diagnosis in one ad-free platform – from a raised bed or balcony to a hectare. Unlike plain bed-drawing tools, the growing plan is holistic: the bed plan knows the companion planting, the rotation knows the previous crops, and the AI advisor knows your beds and soil data. Data stored in Europe, ready without a credit card.

Is the garden planner app really free?

Yes. The Basic plan is free with no time limit and not a trial: 3 projects, the bed planner with companion-planting analysis, season calendar, moon calendar and 10 AI requests per month. Paid plans only extend limits and pro features.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. The free Basic plan only needs an email address or a Google account. Payment details are only requested if you actively choose a paid plan.

Does the bed planner work on my phone?

Yes. PermaNatura runs as a web app in any modern browser and is optimised for smartphones – including drag & drop in the bed grid. You can also add the app to your home screen from your browser.

How is PermaNatura different from other garden planner apps?

The range: companion-planting harmony, crop rotation, moon calendar, an AI advisor with bed and soil context, photo diagnosis and a field log for organic farms in one platform – ad-free and without selling data. See the "Why PermaNatura" page for the comparison.

Will I have to pay later?

No, the Basic plan stays free. During the beta every feature is unlocked on top; we will announce paid plans in good time – nothing becomes paid automatically, and your beds and data stay where they are.
