Try everything. Plant once.
A garden reveals itself slowly — what you plant today won't show its full shape for years. Garden Sketchbook is where the trying-and-changing-your-mind happens first, while it's still free and undoable. Change your color palette, move a whole bed a foot to the left, and see how it works across every season. Then plant with confidence.
Interactive 2D to 3D Design
Sketch your layout by dragging and dropping plants in 2D, then watch it come to life in true-to-scale 3D that shifts through every season — no redrawing, nothing to re-source.
Seasonal Bloom Planning
Preview spring blossoms, summer color, and autumn structure. Create a garden that feels alive all year and see how your color palette shifts through the seasons.
Smart Plant Search
Use powerful filters to find plants that thrive in your light, soil, and zone — and that fit your color palette and seasons of interest. Discover native, pollinator-friendly and climate-tough options for your conditions.
Everything stays to scale
Every plant is sized automatically and to scale, so your design always reflects your real-world space — what you sketch is what you can actually plant. Trace a blueprint or aerial photo of your yard for a perfect fit.
Comprehensive Plant Library
Explore a growing plant library with detailed info on hundreds of species and cultivars, with growing requirements and bloom seasons at your fingertips.
Custom Plant Varieties
Can't find the exact plant you have in mind? Start from any plant in the library and tweak size, color, and bloom time to build your own custom varieties.
