The question every gardener asks
Generic calendars answer with an old zone map. Care apps answer with watering reminders. The real answer depends on your frost dates, not your zip code’s average.
The idea at the center
Every planting window lives as weeks relative to your last spring or first fall frost, never as a fixed date. Set your location once and the app keeps each plant live: open, closing soon, or closed for the year.

A year-round bloom calendar from January through December
Your garden, in season
Track flowers, evergreen structure, berries, foliage, and bark, so the plan still has an answer in January.
Annuals, perennials, bulbs, shrubs, and trees finally live in the same plan.
One weekly check-in, plus alerts only when a planting window is about to close. No daily nagging.
Your whole garden becomes a color strip, making quiet months obvious before another nursery trip.
Start with 5 plants free. Unlock the full garden for $7.99 once, with no subscription ever.
How it works
Set it once. The app keeps translating the season into what matters this week.
Year in Bloom finds the frost dates that shape your actual planting year.
Build the garden you have, the one you want, or both in the same seasonal plan.
See what is blooming, plantable, and closing soon without deciphering another chart.
Made to work side by side
Two garden apps built by the same gardener: one tells you when, the other remembers exactly where.

Made in a real garden
I’m Anna, a Raleigh designer-gardener growing on 1 acre in zones 7b and 8a. I built Year in Bloom and BloomMap for the same reason I build my garden: to make a complicated living system feel clear.
