Back garden beginnings
Learned the ropes growing tomatoes, and way too many courgette plants, in the back garden.
Our Story
Built by a gardener, for gardeners.
SeedSort was born from real beds, real seasons and real allotment life. It is the tool I always wanted but could not find, so I built it.
From allotment to app
Practical growing experience shapes every feature.

Always improving
Feedback from growers keeps SeedSort getting better.
The Story Behind SeedSort
It started in the garden.
Like many gardeners, I was juggling notebooks, seed packets, spreadsheets and a head full of ideas. Plans changed, labels got lost and I kept planting the same things in the wrong places.
I knew there had to be a better way to plan, track and learn from each season, so I built SeedSort to solve my own allotment problems.
It has grown with me ever since, and now it is shaped by the gardeners who use it every day.

The values that guide SeedSort
These are the things behind the app, and behind each decision we make next.
Human-first
SeedSort is built by gardeners, for gardeners. Behind every feature and every reply is a genuine passion for helping growers succeed, so we listen closely and put people ahead of features.
Practical
SeedSort exists to solve real problems: remembering what to sow, tracking seeds and plants, and planning growing spaces across the seasons, so you spend less time managing information and more time enjoying the harvest.
Experienced
Our insight comes from years spent sowing, planting and experimenting, not just writing software. We understand the challenges growers face because we face them too.
Responsive
As a small, independent team we can listen and adapt quickly, responding to real feedback and real needs rather than assumptions.
Ethical
We believe technology should serve people, not the other way around. We respect your privacy, avoid unnecessary complexity, and make decisions with care so we can earn your trust and keep it.
We're growing this together
SeedSort is always evolving, and the best ideas often come from real gardeners using it through real seasons.
