PlantDesk is nursery management software for UK trade plant nurseries: wholesale-led businesses selling trees, hedging, shrubs and plants to landscapers, garden centres, garden designers and developers. It replaces the mix of spreadsheets, paper, WhatsApp and office-only systems with one live system that the whole team uses.

Built for the whole nursery
Office-only systems leave the yard on paper. PlantDesk includes unlimited users on every plan, so the office, yard staff and drivers all work from the same live information, at one flat price.
At Folium and Flos Plants, a wholesale nursery in the New Forest, 9 people now use PlantDesk, saving around 16 hours a week across the team.
Selling online
The Growth & Commerce plan adds:
- an online stock catalogue and ordering
- Shopify integration and stock sync
- a customer database and CRM
- automated customer communications
- marketing tools and branded documents
- a dedicated account manager
