How to use the planner

Build a simple planting layout before you dig

1. Measure the bed

Enter the real width and length of the rectangular bed so the visual plan stays proportional.

2. Add plant spacing

Create each plant type with the spacing or mature width you want to reserve for it.

3. Place and drag plants

Select a plant type, click to place copies, then drag individual plants until the arrangement feels right.

4. Review warnings

The planner highlights overlapping spacing footprints and plants that extend beyond the bed boundary.

Frequently asked questions

What spacing value should I use?

Use the recommended centre-to-centre planting distance or the mature width you want to reserve for the plant.

What does each circle mean?

The circle is the plant's reserved footprint. Its diameter equals the spacing value entered for that plant type.

Does a warning mean the design is impossible?

No. It is a planning warning. Real gardens can use intentional overlap, pruning or different mature sizes, so use the result as guidance rather than a planting rule.
