  • Love this!!! Would be 10/5 when West Coast is included

    I know this may take. Some time so, if you would be so kind as to start with growing zones 8-10+ at least we can make a correlation here in Southern California!!!!

    Thank you so much for this awesome resources! Love the info, nice clean aesthetics, and inspiring ideas to bring it all together. Love it!
  • Great idea

    I love the idea, but the instant I started creating a patch I was in over my head (I’m a newbie). It’d be nice if the app had a novice mode that explains everything, even more than the app does already, for those who are completely new to this.
  • Wonderful

    The app is very helpful in designing a couple of Pawpaw patches in my backyard. I know exactly what I need to do and where I need to go to choose good plants to go around my Pawpaw.
  • not at all useful

    What is supposed utility of this app? I’m a 20 yr gardener and keenly interested in planting fruit trees, pollinators, etc. I’ll save you the time: you pick paw paw or elderberry. Then you have a list of potential pollinators: echinacea yarrow Baptisia etc. You can’t select the plants you choose to make your “patch,” you can’t save the varieties you might be interested in for taste or zone hardiness. You get a very basic non customizable non selectable list you can find for free with five mins of googling

    Developer Response

    Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Hat's off to you for your 20 years of gardening experience - and best of luck for 20 more! We would say that for someone with your level of expertise the app may not provide much new; however, folks who are new to the space of fruit tree cultivation and permaculture-based growing practices may not have the knowledge that you do or even know what questions to ask to get started googling, as you say. This app is more for the folks just entering into this domain. We will also point out that there are many more fruit tree options than the pawpaw and elderberry that you mentioned in case you missed those! Happy planting!
  • Clear & Beautiful

    Conceptualizing a food forest patch from scratch can be super challenging. This app makes it simple by suggesting companions for your trees AND telling you how and when to plant them AND providing lots of other resources to help you on the way.

    The artwork is also lovely and inspiring. Makes me want to head to the nursery ASAP.

    I look forward to seeing how this app grows and expands!!
  • Beautiful and thoughtful fruit planting app

    I love this app! It has gorgeous illustrations, and insightful text and audio for fruit planting (and companion planting). The approachability and straightforwardness of it as demonstrated through pictures and words creates and inviting and exciting space for beginner or advanced growers.
  • Inspired & Easy To Use

    Beautiful illustrations, clear and easy to understand directions . . . bring on the food forests! ✨
  • Love this app!

    Everyone should download FruitPatch.

    The artwork and personal touches make this app come to life and feel like building a garden with the comfort of an old friend.

    It’s user friendly and accessible to those new at gardening and permaculture.

    The resource tab is a treasure trove of knowledge, I am so excited to see this app expand.
  • Helpful app

    Genuinely care about agriculture and it’s obvious. Great features. It’s only a buck and it’s worth it.
  • Easy to Use

    I love this app! It is easy to use and I love the artistry. The entire concept is so useful and environmentally forward thinking for the future.
