A sense of what grew is for. Different gardens, made for different people, at different moments in the year.
Type a postcode. grew builds the model. Buildings from public mapping data, the sun on its real astronomical arc, the boundaries inferred from where the roads run.
Today: sun analysis through the day and the year, across every part of your patch. Soon: plants, planting schemes, design comparison.
Type a postcode. grew finds the property, pulls the buildings, works out the orientation, and drops you into a 3D model of your own garden. You confirm the boundary with two clicks. That's the setup.
The buildings come from public mapping data. The orientation is the real one. The sun follows its real arc. Your garden, not a generic plot.
Drag the sun across its arc. Push the date through the year. Watch your patio in raking April light, the kitchen border at two in the afternoon in July, the herb bed in November shadow.
A heatmap shows you how much sun each square metre actually receives. The thing you wanted to know before planting anything.
The 3D garden and the sun analysis are working today. The rest of the tool is being built in the open. What's on the bench:
A plant catalog with growth curves and flowering windows. Two or three planting schemes you can compare side by side. A plan view you can print for a contractor or a client.
