Verna: Garden Planner

Verna is a climate-aware garden companion that builds your planting calendar around your actual local growing season, wherever you are. Growing a garden means keeping track of a lot. When to start seeds indoors, when to move transplants outside, what needs attention this week, whether it's too late for a fall planting. Multiply that across a full garden and it adds up quickly. Verna takes that weight off you. It calculates the timing, factors in your local conditions, and surfaces what actually needs doing so you can focus on the garden itself. Verna is free for up to 10 active plants, running the full engine. Grow membership lifts the cap. Your schedule is built from your climate and its patterns, not a generic zone chart. Verna reads your local season and calculates every sowing window, transplant date, and harvest expectation from conditions specific to where you live and what you're growing. Add the plants you're actually growing and Verna tracks each one through its lifecycle. As the season progresses and you update what you're seeing in the garden, Verna adjusts its guidance to where each plant actually is rather than where a static calendar assumes it should be. Weather awareness and seasonal context are woven throughout. Local conditions shape care recommendations, and what Verna surfaces changes as your season shifts. Care guidance arrives with enough lead time to act and stays quiet when nothing needs your attention. Start from wherever your garden is. Seeds you started indoors, transplants from a nursery, a perennial that came with your house. Verna picks up wherever your plants are and works with whatever combination you bring. Verna stays with you from late-winter planning through the last harvest. One place for your garden's timing, care, and progress. What Verna does • Planting windows for each plant, worked out from the climate where you garden • Frost dates computed from daily temperatures recorded at your location, adjustable if your garden runs warmer or colder • Care that shows up when it's time: mulching, fertilizing, hardening off, plus your own reminders with an optional push • Watering schedules that log for you and can skip a round when rain has it covered • Harvest windows that follow each plant, with a place to log what you picked • Plant health flags with notes and recovery tracking • A timeline of what's coming across your whole garden • A name and photo for each plant, and one for your garden • Vegetables, herbs, fruits, flowers, grains, and foliage, with real varieties • Start from seeds, transplants, or plants already in the ground
