Gaia - Holistic Patch Planner is an iPhone app designed to assist permaculture gardeners with planning their patches. The app allows users to choose from three different patch shapes to design their individual patch. With a selection of 80 different plants to choose from, users can easily plan their planting layout.

One of the standout features of Gaia is its companion planting functionality. Users can select a plant they want to grow and the app will suggest possible positions for planting, taking into consideration negative influences between crops and favoring positions with positive influences such as stimulation of plant growth or improved pest resistance.

To further assist users, Gaia provides a profile for every vegetable crop included in the app, offering information about the plant and its benefits. This makes it easier for gardeners to make informed decisions about their planting choices.

As users engage with the app and carry out their gardening activities, they can earn badges, adding a fun element to the experience. Gaia - Holistic Patch Planner is a valuable tool for permaculture gardeners looking to optimize their patch layouts and maximize their gardening success.
