Vercro's allotment layout planner showing beds for carrot, potato, onion and brassicas, drawn to scale, with a fruit tree and bush row alongside

A real layout, not a drawing exercise

Most allotment layout tools are a blank canvas — useful for sketching out an idea, disconnected from anything else. You draw your beds once, and then you're back to a notebook or a spreadsheet to actually track what's growing in them.

Vercro's layout is built from your real garden data. Add a crop, and it shows up in the right bed, sized correctly, automatically. Move a bed, and it stays exactly where you put it. It's not a separate planning step — it's the same plot Vercro is already generating your daily tasks for.

What you can do, for free

📐
True to-scale layout
Once your location and area dimensions are set, every bed renders proportionally to its real size — not a rough sketch.
✋
Drag beds into place
Tap an area to select it, drag to reposition. Your layout matches how your plot actually sits.
🌳
Trees, bushes and beds together
Perennial rows — fruit trees, bushes, hedging — sit alongside your annual beds in the same view, shown as what they are.
🥕
See what's growing, at a glance
Every bed is labelled with its current crop. No separate notes to keep, no guessing which bed is which from memory.
🔍
Zoom and fit
Pinch, zoom, or hit Fit to see your whole plot at once — useful for a quick check before you head out, or a closer look at one bed.
📍
Multiple gardens, one account
Allotment, back garden, greenhouse — manage separate plots from the same place, switch between them in a tap.

Planning next year? That's where Pro comes in

Your current layout — what's actually in the ground right now — is free, full stop. Where Pro adds something genuinely new: creating a separate plan for next season, so you can map out a rotation before you've lifted a single crop.

Unlimited saved plans
Create as many plans as you want — this year, next year, a "what if" layout you're still deciding on. Each one tracks against your actual rotation history, so you're not relying on memory to know what was where two seasons ago.

Frequently asked questions

Is the allotment layout planner free?
Yes. Seeing your plot laid out to scale, dragging beds into place, and viewing what's currently growing where is completely free. Saving a separate plan for next year's rotation is a Pro feature.
Is the layout actually to scale?
Yes, as long as you've entered your location and area dimensions. Vercro renders your beds proportionally to their real measurements, not just as a stylised sketch.
Can I plan next year's crop rotation?
Yes — create a new plan alongside your current layout to map out next year's rotation, with unlimited saved plans. This is a Pro feature.
Do I need to learn a drawing tool to use it?
No. There's no separate design interface to learn — you add crops and areas the same way you do anywhere else in Vercro, and the layout updates itself.
