A home orchard planner that remembers your trees.

More time enjoying your trees. Less time wondering what they need. Grovekeeper remembers your patch and helps you make the most of the time you have to tend it.

Your first six weekly plans are on us. No credit card needed. Then keep your free notebook for up to five trees, or choose Cultivate for a fresh plan each week.

Every tree has a story.

The lemon by the fence. The apple you planted last winter. The plum that surprised you with a bumper crop. Give each one a home in Grovekeeper, then add photos and little notes as the seasons turn. Your plan starts with the trees you actually grow.

A little direction for your weekend.

Open Grovekeeper and find a few jobs worth making time for, each with a simple reason why now is a good moment. Tick off what you do, leave a note about what you notice, and get back to enjoying your patch.

Organic, no-spray, low-spray or conventional: tell Grovekeeper how you like to grow, and it plans with your approach in mind.

A few minutes with your apple tree.

Say your apple tree is covered in tiny fruit. Lovely—but are those clusters getting crowded? Grovekeeper can nudge you to take a closer look and help you work out whether it’s time to thin. Add a quick photo or note, and your next plan starts with what’s happening on the tree.

Made for your kind of growing.

Grovekeeper began on a New Zealand lifestyle block, with fruit trees to tend and only so much weekend to spare. It’s made for people who love their patch and want a hand keeping up with it—from the first lemon tree to an orchard, a rose bed or a native hedge.

You bring the care and curiosity. Grovekeeper helps with the remembering, the timing and the little nudge to get outside.

A few things you might be wondering

Is it only for large orchards?
A single lemon tree is a lovely place to start. Sprout is free for up to five trees; Cultivate gives a growing patch room to grow, with unlimited trees and fresh weekly plans.
Does it work outside New Zealand?
Yes—your plan follows the seasons where you live. Spray guidance currently uses checked New Zealand products, so if you garden elsewhere, check your local product label before using a treatment.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes! Grovekeeper is on Google Play for Android, and an iOS app is on the way. In the meantime, you can use the web app on iPhone and iPad and add it to your home screen.
