About

GrowIt! is a mobile app that connects gardener to gardener like never before. It helps you find plants and ideas that work well in your area by connecting you to photos and comments of gardeners in the same area using geolocation. It is currently available for download in the Apple App Store with plans for an Android version.
 
GrowIt! includes all plants, not just one brand. The goal is to engage the next generation of gardeners (Millennials mostly, ages 20-38).  This free mobile app is the first of its kind creating a social platform for users to promote plants they love and help others steer clear of plants that just don’t perform.  The app uses geo-locating technology in the phone to ensure that the users only see local information.  This will help ensure the next generation gardener knows what they should and should not buy, so that their first gardening experience is a success. We want to connect experienced gardeners to first time gardeners because we found that people might not know that much about plants…. Watch this video to see what we mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUwuGCmYEKE

To make this a successful tool for the next generation content needs to be built within the app.  An important aspect of GrowIt! is that it runs entirely on user submission (We’re not pre-loading the app with catalog or stock images).  So….we need REAL images from REAL gardeners. This summer and fall GrowIt! is hosting a gatherings at public gardens and garden centers across the nation where garden enthusiasts from the community download the app, walk around the gardens, take photos, and rate plants.  

Your comments and photos will help guide new gardeners on the best plants and the ones to avoid.
