PatternBase: Design your garden in guilds, not rows.

I built PatternBase because I couldn't find garden planning software that thinks the way permaculture does. Everything out there treats a garden as a grid of individual plants, optimized for one season. But that's not how food forests work. You're thinking in guilds, layers, succession, water flow across a whole landscape. None of the tools I tried could handle that, so I built my own. PatternBase lets you design in plant communities. You drag species into guilds, see which ecological roles are covered, and catch the gaps before you're standing in a muddy field in March realizing you forgot nitrogen fixers. Climate matching shows what's actually working for growers with your frost dates and rainfall, not generic advice written for a different continent. The part I care most about is the evidence commons. Every harvest you log, every observation you record, adds to a growing body of proof that regenerative methods work. Not theory, documented results from real gardens. The skepticism around permaculture mostly comes down to "where's the data?" We're building that data, one garden at a time. Solo founder, built with Claude Code, two years of work. 25% of all revenue goes to the Earth Care Fund for ecological restoration. That's baked into the business, not a marketing line. Free plan is genuinely useful, no time limit. Happy to answer anything.
