No Guesswork Climatology
We've mapped out the perfect planting zones for your Aussie backyard. No more wondering if your tomatoes will survive the summer heat or if your lettuce will bolt before you even get it in the ground.
Tropical Zones
Perfect for the wet tropics. Focus on high-heat vegetables like sweet potatoes, okra, and tropical fruits. We've got you covered for the wet season.
Temperate Zones
The golden zone for Aussies. Ideal for winter crops like kale, broccoli, and root vegetables. We've synced our hardiness guides to your local weather.
Mediterranean Zones
Hot and dry. Best for summer crops like beans, peas, and herbs. We've got the watering tips and sun protection you need for the long summer days.
The Garden Map feature in Aussie Garden Mate lets you design and lay out your veggie gardens, raised beds, herbs, and fruit trees all in one easy spot.
Whether you’re working with a tiny suburban backyard, a few raised beds, or a full-on homestead setup, the map helps you visualise your space before you start planting — saving you from overcrowding, bad plant pairings, and wasted room.
No more guesswork, overcrowded garden beds or pots, or planting your tomatoes right next to something that’ll chuck a tantrum.

The Garden Mapping feature in Aussie Garden Mate helps you lay out your veggie patch like a proper backyard legend.

Just punch in your garden bed size, pick your veggies and herbs, and the app helps you space everything out nicely while suggesting good companion plants that work well together in Aussie conditions.

Bed and Pot Planner Tools
From climate zone guides to hardiness recommendations, our tools help you know exactly what to plant, when to plant it, and how to keep it thriving in Aussie conditions.
Whether you’ve got a couple of citrus trees near the shed or a full-on backyard orchard, Aussie Garden Mate helps take the guesswork out of growing healthy trees in Aussie conditions.
The Trees section gives you handy info on planting times, pruning tips, watering guidance, seasonal care, and what works best in your local climate zone.

From apples and peaches through to olives, citrus, feijoas and more — it’s built for real Aussie backyards and real Aussie weather.
Region Specific Planting
One of the biggest headaches for Aussie gardeners is following overseas gardening advice that simply doesn’t work here. What grows well in Tasmania might struggle in Far North Queensland — and that’s exactly why Aussie Garden Mate was built.
Our Region-Specific Planting feature helps take the guesswork out of gardening by tailoring recommendations to your local climate, season, and growing conditions.
