Botanical gardens: living collections need place, phenology and care history
A practical data model for plants that move, develop, flower, decline and receive care over time.
farming.software
Plan rotations. Simulate crops. Run the farm from the same system.
Connect fields and beds with crop history, mixtures, phenology, water, nitrogen, work, inventory and economics—at the scale you actually manage.
Four scales. Four recognisable systems. One connected foundation.
Farms
Fields, rotations, operations, nutrients and economics.
Market gardens & permaculture
Twelve beds, mixtures, successions, water, work and forest-garden layers.
Botanical gardens
Glasshouses, living collections, accession context, phenology and care.
Home gardens
Four beds, plantings, watering and next-season memory.
Product evidence
The actual interface at work.
Every screen below is an approved excerpt from the product, matched to this workflow and retained with its original-file record.
Current conditions and forecast remain beside the farm decisions they may change.
The map gives every observation and plan a stable spatial reference.
Fields, crops, areas and expected consequences form one explicit seasonal plan.
Growth, yield and nitrogen remain separate, question-ready results.
Alternatives are compared across agronomic and economic consequences, not one hidden score.
Place → observation → decision → outcome.
01
Place
Fields, plots, beds and collections keep stable identities.
→02Observation
Records, sensing, samples and phenology remain located and dated.
→03Decision
Planning and models compare rotations, mixtures, water, yield and nitrogen.
→04Outcome
Work, nutrients, inventory, documentation, economics and interfaces carry the choice forward.
→One vocabulary from field evidence to farm consequence.

Applications, research questions and implementation notes.
Forest gardens: planning a multilayer system through time
How spatial layers, perennial plants, phenology and care history can be kept in one inspectable system.
Permaculture planning: mixtures, successions, water and work
Why diverse growing systems need records for species, density, arrangement, timing and labour—not one crop name per bed.
Straight answers
What is it—and who is it actually for?
What does farming.software do?
It connects places, plants, crop plans, observations, work, water, nutrients, models and costs in one growing record. Start with one useful part; add depth without entering the same facts again.
Is farming.software only for farms?
No. It is designed for farms, market gardens, permaculture systems, botanical gardens and home growers. Each can use a workflow suited to its scale and diversity.
Is this another FMIS?
It includes field and work records, but goes further: growing plots, successions, mixed crops, biological models, scenarios and whole-system consequences use the same connected foundation.
Does the software make decisions for us?
No. It organises evidence, runs transparent calculations and compares realistic options. The decision and responsibility stay with the people who know the farm.
How do we start?
Begin with places, plants, a seasonal plan or one workflow that currently breaks apart. Existing users can open the external system; new growers and organisations can send us the concrete problem.
A clear next step
Start with one real workflow.
Send the place, data, decision and consequence that must remain connected.
- 01Send one concrete workflow
- 02We identify fit and gaps
