## What is Root & Row?

Root & Row was built by a gardener, for gardeners.

Not by a software company that’s never had dirt under its fingernails — by
someone who knows the ache of a spring backache, the heartbreak of a late
frost, and the quiet triumph of the first ripe tomato.

PLAN YOUR PLOTS, NOT JUST YOUR PLANTS
• Draw your actual garden beds — any size, even pots
• Automatic layout planning fits your chosen crops into real bed space,
  with pathways where you need them
• Spacing, depth and quantity guidance scaled to your plot size and household size
• Rearrange visually until it feels right

YOUR LIBRARY, YOUR PLANTS
• You don’t need a database of 10,000 plants — you need the ones
  YOU want to grow
• Add any plant and one tap pulls everything: spacing, sunlight,
  sowing dates, quantities — even a hand-painted illustration (Pro)

KNOW YOUR ZONE — ANYWHERE ON EARTH
• Enter a zip code or any town worldwide and Root & Row finds your
  hardiness zone and frost dates — even south of the equator
• Planting windows and reminders are anchored to YOUR climate,
  not a generic calendar

NEVER MISS A GARDEN MOMENT
• Sowing, transplanting, hardening-off and harvest reminders
• A satisfying tap-to-complete flow that keeps you moving
• A built-in knowledge base for most common vegetables and herbs —
  including Asian vegetables most apps forget

ROOT & ROW PRO — THE SMART-GARDENING TOOLKIT
• 7-day local forecast with soil temperature — know when the ground
  is truly ready
• AI growing suggestions tuned to your plants, your weather and
  your zone: watering, pests, fertilizer schedules, succession sowing
• Plant Identifier: snap up to three photos and put a name to any
  mystery seedling
• Auto-fill growing data for any custom plant you add — one tap
  pulls the numbers and paints a watercolor illustration to match

Root & Row Pro is $4.99/month, or $34.99/year (save 42%).
Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage anytime in your
App Store account settings.

The free version is a complete garden planner — no account, no ads,

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-07-04

Root & Row 1.7 — sharper tools for the height of the season

• Metric or Imperial — pick your units in Settings; plot sizes, spacing,
  and temperatures follow everywhere
• New grid view — browse plants as watercolor cards (Settings → Plant Layout)
• Companion warnings while rearranging — a gentle heads-up when two plants
  that don't get along end up side by side (fennel, we see you)
• Plant illustrations now appear in your Activities schedule
• Smoother drawing — dragging from inside a plot now pans the garden
• Polish: tidy buttons at larger text sizes, better plant-drop counts
