We believe everyone deserves a green thumb

Simply Garden started with a simple frustration: gardening advice that doesn't account for where you actually live.

The problem

Every spring, millions of home gardeners Google "when to plant tomatoes" and get a generic answer that works for maybe 10% of the country. The result? Seeds started too early, transplants killed by late frosts, and harvests that never quite happen.

Our solution

Simply Garden builds a personalized 12-month planting calendar based on your exact USDA hardiness zone. Enter your ZIP code, pick your crops, and we'll tell you exactly when to seed indoors, transplant outside, and expect your first harvest — down to the week.

Who we are

We're a small team of gardeners and software engineers who got tired of killing perfectly good seedlings. We built Simply Garden for ourselves first, then realized every gardener we knew wanted the same thing.

What drives us

  • Accuracy over generality — your zone matters, and so does your microclimate.
  • Beginner-friendly — you shouldn't need a horticulture degree to grow basil.
  • Your data is yours — we don't sell it, share it, or use it to train AI models.
  • Sustainability — growing your own food is one of the best things you can do for the planet.
