## What is Gardening Pro?

You are already doing the work that makes a good garden better: noticing details, checking beds, saving labels, learning from each season, and coming back with a sharper plan. Gardening Pro gives that effort a clean place to live. It is a local-first garden planner, seed inventory, journal, calendar, and harvest tracker built for home gardeners, raised bed growers, flower growers, herb gardeners, seed starters, and serious backyard producers who want better records without a complicated cloud system.

Gardening Pro helps you keep your whole growing season organized from the first seed packet to the final harvest note. Track garden areas, beds, seed inventory, sow dates, transplant windows, tasks, photos, milestones, harvests, and reference information in one searchable gardening app. Whether you manage a patio garden, vegetable garden, pollinator border, cut flower bed, greenhouse bench, or raised beds, the practical details stay close.

Built for local garden records:

- Create a garden/site and organize active garden areas or beds.
- Track bed size, area, perimeter, location, sun exposure, soil type, color, notes, and hardiness zone.
- Switch between U.S. units and metric units for garden measurements, seed quantities, and harvest entries.
- Keep records local on your device for fast access and straightforward ownership.
- Search across records to find crops, beds, seed lots, notes, tags, dates, and garden activity.

Seed inventory that feels useful in the real world:

- Save seed name, crop or flower, variety, vendor, lot, purchase date, expiration year, germination rate, days to maturity, and notes.
- Track bought, planted, and left quantities with the unit printed on the packet or bulk order.
- Use quick-select options for common U.S. garden crops, flowers, seed vendors, germination rates, maturity windows, and seed units.
- Flag low stock and stale seed lots so old packets do not disappear in a drawer.

Planning tools for the season ahead:

- Build planting records for crops, flowers, herbs, succession sowing, transplant timing, and expected harvest windows.
- Use a calendar tab to see upcoming work, plantings, harvest windows, journal items, and task activity.
- Add garden tasks for watering, scouting, pruning, fertilizing, thinning, harvesting, cleanup, and reminders.
- Use priorities, due dates, linked garden records, linked plantings, and notes to keep garden work clear.

A journal that rewards careful growers:

- Log journal entries, milestones, weather, soil notes, pest observations, disease notes, pruning, fertilizing, harvest observations, and photos.
- Add tags, flag important entries, and keep a dated record of what happened in each bed.
- Attach photos to garden, seed, and journal records within the free photo limit, or expand with Pro.

Harvest and reporting:

- Record crop, variety, garden, planting, date, quantity, unit, quality, destination, revenue, and notes.
- Track food for the kitchen, preserving, freezer, pantry storage, donation, farm stand, CSA, restaurant, and market use.
- Keep reports practical for home growers, prosumers, homestead gardeners, and small-scale production.

Helpful built-in reference:

- Browse searchable reference records for seeds, plants, soil, garden planning, weather, tools, and seasonal work.
- Use links and summaries while planning sowing, spacing, seed handling, and garden tasks.

Gardening Pro is built for gardeners who like real notes, practical tools, and a season that gets easier to understand every time they record what happened.

### 5/5 — Excellent updates

*2026-07-02*

It really solved a lot of problems with gardening and planning. The database and reference worked very well.

### 3/5 — Could love the app

*2022-02-10*

This app is great for storing all your seed information (amounts, dates, which garden). Input is very easy. But there is one major flaw. You cannot see the actual names of the seeds when you go to your lists, just which garden they belong to. When I want to check whether I have certain seeds before ordering new ones, I have to remember exactly how I typed in the name and guess which part of the alphabet it is most likely in and then click through all seeds in that general area of the alphabetized list. Big hassle! Would love this app and give it 5 stars, if I could actually see the seeds names I input. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t Help the Big Garden Producers

*2020-12-19*

This app doesn’t list the seed Alphabetically by type.  The list is by “garden name” and not the seed.
I personally needed an app that can catalog and list seed that I can keep handy that has the name of the seed, the variety, and then let me enter in the details if needed.
It is not helpful that the main list on the left shows nothing about the seed name.  I would have to spend time clicking each entered seed to even see what it is!
Hopefully this develops into something that will be convenient for the Gardner that needs a quick reference to see what is in our personal stores.  Keep working!

### 5/5 — Great for gardening

*2017-06-09, version 1.3*

Very helpful tracking the little things. It can now sync which is great!

### 1/5 — Cc

*2015-02-15*

Have tried to get a review published, but, lack of interest in this product makes that difficult. It appears to be a copy of another app. It has not been fully debugged for its current purpose and I am not sure it is fit for purpose. A pity it was for sale in the App Store.

### 2.1 — 2026-07-01

You deserve credit for using Gardening Pro to take your garden seriously. A good garden is built from patient notes, saved seed labels, careful bed work, honest harvest counts, and the small decisions you make every week. This update gives that work a cleaner home with stronger garden planning, better seed inventory, easier record keeping, and local-first tools for a busy growing season.

What's new in this update:

- A refreshed local-first garden planner for beds, containers, raised beds, greenhouse benches, flower gardens, herb gardens, vegetable gardens, and small homestead growing.
- A clearer seed inventory list that shows seed names first, so you can scan your seed collection without opening every record.
- Seed records now sort by Seed Name A-Z, with a Crop/Variety A-Z option for gardeners who organize by crop type.
- Seed rows show seed name, crop or variety, garden, and quantity details in a more useful order.
- New searchable seed name popup with common seed names plus your existing local seed records.
- New searchable garden popup in seed entry, using garden names already saved in the app.
- Common quantity presets for packets, seeds, starts, bulbs, cloves, tubers, slips, sets, ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms.
- Cleaner quantity fields for Bought, Planted, and Left, with less duplicate placeholder text.

Garden and record editing improvements:

- Garden, seed, task, journal, and harvest editors now have a top action strip in one horizontal row.
- Actions appear in a clear order: HELP, Share, Reset, Example Set.
- Share creates a readable draft summary you can send or save before or after editing.
- Reset returns the editor to the values it had when opened.
- Example Set fills believable starter values that you can edit instead of starting with every field blank.
- Help is easier to reach from the editor without hunting through settings.

New help and app guidance:

- Help is organized into sections for Getting Started, Gardens, Seeds, Plantings, Tasks, Journal, Harvests, Search, Reference, Reports, Export, Settings, Pro, Privacy, and Troubleshooting.
- Garden and Seed master views now include a question mark button in the top-left toolbar for quick help.
- About is now available directly from the More view.
- Privacy and App Support moved into About, with version, support, App Store, contact, and warranty information.
- The small Help block was removed from About because the app now has a dedicated searchable help area.

Planning, reports, and local data:

- Dashboard, Calendar, Tasks, Planting, Journal, Harvest, Search, Reference, Reports, Settings, and More continue to work around your local garden records.
- Backup export remains free, so you can keep a copy of your garden records without upgrading.
- Backup packages can include local photo attachments as separate files.
- Pro import, expanded limits, planning tools, and printable reporting remain available for gardeners who need more room.
- Existing migrated records stay readable, searchable, editable, and exportable, even if they are above the new free limits.

Polish for daily use:

- Better App Store link placement inside the app.
- Friendlier About, privacy, support, and warranty organization.
- More useful seed and garden choices during data entry.
- Clearer help text for gardeners who want practical guidance, not clutter.

Better record editing:

- Added low-stock and stale seed signals for more useful seed inventory review.

Local reference improvements:

- Added a searchable reference area for seed, plant, soil, garden, weather, tool, and seasonal information.

Data and local-first improvements:

- Kept the app focused on local data instead of requiring iCloud.
