- Users are willing to meet other users to trade vegetables & fruits.

Some people might be scared to start a garden because of how intricate it seems to know how to take care of every plant and keep up with the watering, but with Fruggies, everything is simpler.
With this app you’ll be able to plan you garden accordingly and the app takes care of the rest. All you need to know about your garden will be on this app, what plants shouldn’t be next to each other, the amount of sunshine it takes to make your plant thrive, and much more.
But Fruggies isn’t just a planning and organizing app! We also offer a way to manage your harvested vegetables and fruits. To promote sustainability we have implemented an exchange feature, where you can locally exchange your produce with other users.
With Fruggies you can keep up with your garden and exchange your produce with others, reducing waste while enjoying a variety of homegrown food.
