From Sacred Hill Farm · Western North Carolina
Your garden isn't average.
Your planting schedule shouldn't be either.
SproutMap builds your personalized planting calendar from your actual GPS coordinates and elevation — not just your zip code. A garden at 2,600 feet in the Blue Ridge has a different last frost date than the valley below.
Free to start. No credit card required.
SproutMap reads your GPS coordinates and elevation to tell you exactly what to plant — and when. Not for your zip code. For your actual backyard.

Generic advice doesn't know your backyard.
Where you grow changes everything. Your calendar should know that.
We started SproutMap because we live at 2,600 feet in Western Asheville. The planting calendars we found were built for the valley — they didn't account for the extra weeks of frost or the shorter growing window.
SproutMap reads your GPS coordinates and your elevation. It gives you a planting schedule for where you actually grow.

The Community
The part we didn't expect to matter most.
A small, generous community of gardeners growing where you grow.
Sarah — Zone 6b
"First time overwintering garlic and I have questions about mulching depth — anyone in the mountains care to weigh in?"
Marcus — Zone 7a
"Frost held off longer than expected this year. Pulled my last basil yesterday and made enough pesto to last til spring."
Eliza — Zone 5b
"Comparing germination rates on three lettuce varieties — Buttercrunch is winning by a mile in cold soil."
