GrowIt!

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 geo-location technology. GrowIt! is the only app that allows you to rate plant pictures from your area. By giving a picture a “Leave It”, “Like It”, or “Grow It” you can finally voice your opinion on specific plants! It is currently available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. 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 people to share what they are growing so that others can be inspired! 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). GrowIt! contains REAL images from REAL people. If you see something you like, take a picture! Maybe you’re growing it, maybe it’s just something you’ve seen on the street. If you don’t know what it is, we can even help identify it for you! Your comments and photos will help guide new gardeners on the best plants and the ones to avoid.
