Support PlotHive
PlotHive is a community app for people who grow food together, and for the volunteer-run gardens that make it happen.
It was developed with support from our founding partners. The ongoing costs are covered by the gardens that use it and by individual members who choose to chip in. We keep those costs as low as we can, because most community gardens run on volunteer time and small budgets.
Where the money goes
- Servers, the database and backups that keep every garden's records safe
- Email and push notices for renewals, rosters and offers
- Fixes, security updates and new features that gardens ask for
We don't sell anyone's data, and we don't run ads. Business sponsors are reviewed by us and shown only where they're useful to gardeners.
