Pick a plan that fits your garden.

A garden designer costs hundreds. A bed of plants you rip out next spring costs more. Garden Sketchbook is where you get it right first — start designing for free, and save your plan for the price of a few plants a year.

Common questions

Who is it for?
Anyone with a garden to design: homeowners figuring out their yard, beginners finding plants that suit their conditions, experienced gardeners trying new combinations, and designers who need quick concepts. Full answer
Can I plan a vegetable garden with it?
No. Garden Sketchbook is an ornamental garden planner, built around seeing what blooms when. Vegetables may come someday, but for now a dedicated vegetable planner will serve you better. Full answer
Do I need a card to start the trial?
Yes. You enter a card at signup, but you're not charged until day 15. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. Full answer
How do I cancel my trial?
In the app, open Manage account > Subscription and cancel. It takes a moment, and there's no need to contact anyone. Cancel within the 14 days and you won't be charged. Full answer
What happens to my gardens if I cancel later?
They aren't deleted. Your gardens become view-only, and if you resubscribe, editing picks back up right where you left off. Full answer
Does my demo garden carry over?
Yes. Sign up before it expires and your demo garden moves into your account automatically. Full answer
Does it have plants for my area?
The library currently has 500+ plants, mainly covering North America, with a growing selection of UK plants. Other regions aren't well represented yet, but more plants are being added every day. If your favourites are missing, please request them! In the meantime, you can also customize any existing plant to create new varieties. Full answer
Is that price in US dollars?
Yes. If you're paying from outside the US, your card is charged the equivalent in your local currency. Full answer
