Beta Live: Garden Sketchbook is now in open beta. You may encounter a few bugs as we continue to refine the experience.

Product Roadmap

See what we're working on and what's coming next. Garden Sketchbook is actively developed with new features and improvements added regularly.

Currently Working On

Beta Testing & Behind-the-Scenes Stuff

In Progress

All the slightly unglamorous but necessary testing and devops needed to make sure the app runs smoothly for you. This will be top priority through the end of the year.

Core Features Target: Q1 2026

Planned Features

Improved Mobile Experience

Planned

See a subset of Garden Sketchbook functionality on a responsive mobile site. This may not be the full app with all design features, but you'll be able to read your garden plans for quick reference at the garden center or in the field.

Platform Target: Q1 2026

Custom Measurements & Shapes

Planned

Draw custom dimensions, reference objects, and irregular bed boundaries directly on your design. Helpful for mapping existing features like patios and trees, defining curved or angled planting areas, and understanding scale in your space.

Design Tools Target: Q2 2026

Enhanced Plant Artwork

Planned

Updated hand-drawn illustrations with improved detail and accuracy. Add images to art library to cover more plants with unique shapes that don't fit neatly into other categories, like irises and dahlias.

Design Tools Target: Q2 2026

Garden Templates

Planned

Start with pre-designed garden layouts for common scenarios: shade gardens, pollinator gardens, cutting gardens, and more.

Design Tools

Import Garden Photos

Planned

Upload photos of your existing garden and use them as a background reference while designing.

Design Tools

AI-Powered Plant Suggestions

Planned

Pick your favorite plants first, then let AI fill in the gaps with recommended plants that grow well in your conditions.

Design Tools

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.
