Product Roadmap
See what I'm working on and what's coming next. Garden Sketchbook is actively developed with new features and improvements added regularly.
Currently Working On
Photo Backdrop in 3D Scene
In ProgressUpload a photo of your yard or surroundings and use it as the backdrop for your 3D garden scene, so you can visualize new designs in their real-world setting.
Expanded Plant Library
In ProgressGrowing the plant library well beyond the current 500+ cultivars, with broader coverage of perennials, shrubs, and trees across more climates and growing conditions.
Planned Features
Garden Templates
PlannedStart with pre-designed garden layouts for common scenarios: shade gardens, pollinator gardens, cutting gardens, and more.
AI-Powered Plant Suggestions
PlannedPick your favorite plants first, then let AI fill in the gaps with recommended plants that grow well in your conditions.
A note about this roadmap: These are features I'm excited to build (and use myself!), but Garden Sketchbook is currently a one-person dev team. Target dates are my best estimates and may shift as development progresses.
Your feedback matters! If there's a feature you're excited about or would find especially useful, let me know. User input helps prioritize what gets built next.
