Garden planner · built for UK growers
Garden planner app for UK vegetable growers
Most planner apps help you draw a layout in spring. Vercro keeps up with the garden after that: what’s in each bed, how far it has got, and the few jobs worth doing this morning.
Free. Not a free trial. No card required.
Planning is just the start
A layout tool tells you where your raised beds are. A sowing calendar tells you when to plant. Neither tells you what to do on a Tuesday in June when your beans have just flowered and it hasn’t rained for a week.
Vercro connects the plan to the garden. Add your beds and crops, and each morning Today reflects where your plants are now and what the forecast is doing.
“Saving me loads of time writing stuff out and keeping track. Bloody well done.”

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good garden planner app for UK growers?
UK sowing windows, UK postcodes and a plan that keeps up once the season starts. Vercro uses a UK sowing calendar and your postcode’s forecast, keeps every bed and crop, and each morning shows the few jobs that matter in your garden.
Does Vercro work for both gardens and allotments?
Yes. Each garden or allotment has its own postcode, beds and crops: raised beds, open ground, a greenhouse or polytunnel, and pots. Free covers up to 3.
Is there a free garden planner app for the UK?
Vercro’s free plan is a plan, not a trial: up to 3 gardens, unlimited crops and beds, Today, the Garden plan and your Record, with no card required. Pro adds unlimited gardens and more Plant Checks each month.
How is Vercro different from a sowing calendar?
A sowing calendar tells everyone when to plant. Vercro keeps track of what you actually planted and where, and tells you what needs doing in your garden now, based on how far each crop has got and your local forecast.
