Cannot find an app for garden design

There are lots for Whizzy landscape design but has anyone come across a basic one where you can put in the plants and bulbs etc so you know where they are? Do I need to spend serious pounds? Thx

  • We get this question a lot and I think the general consensus is no. There is the Shoot garden planner which I think some of the forum use but can’t remember who but that has an annual fee

    My friend has used excel to create a (roughly to scale) plan of her garden by formatting the cells as squares. I can’t remember what scale she has chosen, she’s on hols at the moment. Each cell can then used to log what plant is where.

    I've done a similar thing - using a basic drawing app, adding a grid and putting a key to which plant is in which square.

  • When you look at all those thousands of useless apps out there, it’s amazing That no one has realised there is still an untapped app market. Probably because young people don’t do enough gardening, or theIr new gardens are All too small to bother!
