Browse Real Garden Starter Layouts

See a garden planned to scale with beds, paths and planting areas marked out, then open it in the editor and reshape it to your own plot.

How the Garden Planner Works

Plan planting and paths on screen before moving any real soil, so a layout mistake costs nothing but a few clicks.

Step 01

Trace Your Yard

Sketch the boundary of your garden or yard to scale, marking any existing trees, fences or structures you'll need to plan the new layout around.

Step 02

Add Beds & Planting

Place raised beds, a veg plot, trees, shrubs and paths from the symbol library, then adjust spacing until the layout actually feels workable.

Step 03

Export Your Garden Plan

Download the finished layout as a PNG or PDF to reference while you're actually digging beds or laying out a new path.

What This Garden Planner Can Do

A free garden planner program built specifically for beds, paths and planting, not just a generic empty sketch canvas.

Beds, Paths & Plants Included

Raised beds, round beds, a veg plot, trees, shrubs and paths are all in the symbol library, so you can lay out planting areas without hunting for extra assets.

Garden layout planned around existing trees and a shed

Plan Around What's Already There

Sketch existing trees, fences or a shed into your plan first, so new beds and paths get placed around them correctly instead of overlapping.

True-to-Scale Spacing

Once you set your scale, beds and paths keep their real dimensions, so you can check spacing before ordering materials, soil or plants.

Plan a Water Feature or Patio

Pond, path and patio symbols sit alongside the planting symbols, so a water feature or a seating area can be planned as part of the same layout.
