Using Your Export
For Plant Shopping
Take the plant list to your nursery. The provided plant counts let you know exactly how many you need.
For Implementation
Use the numbered plan to place plants accurately. The alignment grid shows 1 foot (30.5cm) increments for proper spacing.
For Sharing
Share with contractors, family, or use for permit applications. Export without grid for cleaner presentations.
Tips
- Double-check plant placement before exporting
- Include grid for implementation, exclude for presentations
- Export regularly as backup (app is in beta)
Common Issues
PDF won't download: Check popup blockers and browser settings
Plan too small: The exporter is configured to zoom the plan view so that all plants are visible. If this is creating readability issues for larger plans, please let us know! The export feature is under development and we would like your feedback.
