GrowMap Handbook
Wouldn't it be great to grow plants that look after themselves?
We can grow strong, healthy, and self-sufficient plants by better understanding our growing conditions and then choosing plants that grow well in these conditions.
Using the steps detailed in this Handbook, you'll easily collect the information you need to understand and map the growing conditions in your backyard, community garden and farm.
Diving deep with tape measures and surveying equipment is unnecessary. Specialist skills and equipment aren't required to create your GrowMap!
Getting to know your growing conditions has never been so easy!

What people say about the GrowMap
"Wendy I have a confession to make! I didn’t do a GrowMap as you recommended. Instead, I rushed out and planted all my fruit trees. Some have done OK, but others are struggling. I planted the Jaboticaba, for example, at the top of the hill. Silly thing is – the mapping didn’t take long.
Now I’ve got a better idea of my growing conditions, I'm replacing some of the trees and planting them where they’ll do better. The Jaboticaba is much more comfortable in the wetter area!”
Eric Van Beurden, Lismore, NSW, Australia
"I never understood what people meant about mapping their growing conditions. But having used the GrowMap, it's now so logical to do one. The mapping didn't take long and helped me to see a whole lot more. I'll be using my energy to full potential instead of guessing."

"While the GrowMap is such a simple assessment process, I have got so much useful information. Helping me weigh up the options and get better outcomes."
