Groww – our design principles

By Groww on 24 September 2018

We thought we wanted to tell you a bit more about our values, and what’s important to us. Are you interested to know why this application is made? When we started Groww, we designed these six design principles – and 4 years later, they still command anything we do or any change we make to the app. Here they are :

Less is more

Groww puts garden advice – the right information, simple and concise – at your fingertips, right when you need it.

Grow my garden, grow myself up

Growing your garden is also growing yourself up – learning new things!

Gardening is a journey

Gardening is a school of patience : you learn from the past – and your mistakes – to prepare the future. It’s also a story you write, everyday.

Stronger together

Gardening is not something you do in your own – gardening is sharing, exchanging ideas. Expect social features to be added to the app soon!

We’re outdoor folks

Let’s be clear – gardening is not something you do in front of your computer – you have to put your hands in the dirt. Groww is in your phone – ready to help, but the more the phone stays in the front pocket of your gardening apron, the better.

No spray

We do not want pesticides, herbicides, or any other ‘-cides’ (from latin -cida, to kill) in Groww. We don’t put any in our gardens, and there is no reason to do otherwise in this app! And beyond: in the garden we should use local ressources – mulch from our clippings instead of cacao beans from the other side of the world , and try reuse and recycle everything that can be used again. This planet is our garden!

That’s it, it was short but good! Happy gardening …

Do you have something to tell us? in the chat, right in our app, or through our Facebook page 🙂

    Jam and poetry

    Do you prefer homemade, or supermarket jams …? A nice piece written in 1936, found pinned to the wall in a friend’s kitchen, which makes a lot of sense today – we share: The day the economist visited us, was the day we were making our blackcurrant, currant and raspberry jams. The economist immediately began …

    Growing redcurrant from cuttings

    Today, as we walked our way back from the market (our vegetable garden provides all our veggies these days, but sometimes, you know, when you live in the North of France, you crave for peaches and apricots!) we went through a public park, where the city council has planted fruit trees, such as apple, pear, …

    Hi – Welcome !
