Want to install Kamerplanter yourself?

Kamerplanter needs to be set up on a server or computer before you can use it in your browser. If you want (or need) to do that yourself, head to the Deployment section.

Tip

If someone else has set up Kamerplanter for you (e.g. in a community garden), you don't need to worry about installation. Just open the URL in your browser and start with the Onboarding Wizard.

Not sure what a term means?

Kamerplanter uses a few terms from horticulture and plant care (e.g. VPD, EC, pre-harvest interval). The glossary gives you short, plain-language explanations.
