A canvas site plan with areas, paths, beds and trees placed on a parcel

Zones, paths and structures on one canvas

You draw each zone as an area on the canvas, along with paths, roads, garden beds, trees, and structures. Area and edge length stay in feet, and the compass keeps the plan oriented to the ground.

Start from your deed boundary

Paste a metes-and-bounds legal description and Homesteader turns it into the parcel outline you design on. The corners can be adjusted after the import.

Plant catalog and companion pairings

The plant catalog stores pairings for a crop: companion, guild, nitrogen fixer, antagonist, trap crop, and pollinator. Those relationships sit with the species, next to the plants you place on the map.

A planting calendar for your zone

The planting calendar uses your USDA hardiness zone and shows sow, transplant, and harvest windows for the crops you are growing.

From design to the weekly to-do list

The design turns into tasks you add yourself. Set one to repeat weekly — or daily, monthly, or yearly — and assign it to your household. An email digest can list the ones still open.
