A growing zone designates where growers will sow plants, including trees. Growing zones are only allowed in soil, rich soil, or gravel, each with an effect on growth rate. They can't be placed on sand, natural stone, mud, water, or flooring. When the mouse is over a tile, the fertility rate is shown at the bottom left of the screen. Only one type of plant can be selected for each individual zone.

When a growing zone is selected, buttons appear to allow the player to change the plant to be grown or to allow the zone to be renamed, deleted, hidden, or to allow/disallow sowing. When sowing is disabled colonists will still harvest.

As of version 0.15.1279 (29 August 2016) sowing and harvesting plants is slower.
