Growing Is Local

The biggest challenge for home growers isn't motivation — it's knowing what to grow, when to grow it, and how to grow it well in their specific conditions.

A tomato variety that thrives in Cornwall may struggle in Edinburgh. The best time to sow peas in London is different from Leeds. Generic growing advice doesn't account for these differences.

How Locavori's AI Works

Locavori combines several data sources to create recommendations tailored to you:

Your Location and Climate Zone

Using your postcode and UK hardiness zone data, we know your local frost dates, average temperatures, and growing season length. This means every recommendation is timed for your area.

Your Growing Space

Whether you have a south-facing allotment or a north-facing balcony, the AI adjusts its suggestions. A shady windowsill gets herb recommendations. A sunny raised bed gets tomato and courgette suggestions.

Seasonal Intelligence

The platform knows what month it is and what stage of the growing calendar you're in. It won't suggest sowing runner beans in November or harvesting garlic in March.

Companion Planting

Some plants grow better together. The AI suggests combinations that improve yields and reduce pests — like planting basil near tomatoes, or marigolds alongside courgettes.

What You'll See

When you log into Locavori, your dashboard shows:

  • What to grow now — crops suited to your space and season
  • Growing reminders — notifications for sowing, planting out, and harvesting
  • Personalised guides — step-by-step instructions for your specific conditions
  • Swap suggestions — neighbours growing complementary crops
  • Built on Real Data

    Our recommendations are based on RHS hardiness zones, Met Office climate data, and proven organic growing practices. The AI doesn't guess — it works from evidence.
