BeforePlan a border that actually works
A good border is harder than it looks: get the heights or the balance wrong and it reads as a muddle. This garden border planner does the composition for you. You upload a photo, pick a style, and it lays out a proper border design – taller plants graded to the back, a generous middle of colour, and softer planting breaking over the front edge.
Whether you want a classic herbaceous border, a mixed border of shrubs and perennials, or a long perennial run, the planting is arranged the way a designer would build it, on your own border.

a photorealistic picture of your own border, freshly designed
A layered scheme
height at the back, a full middle, softness spilling at the front
Real, growable plants

Border ideas you can see on your own garden
The best border ideas are the ones you can picture in your own space. These are built from real UK garden plants chosen for your conditions, so you get inspiration you could genuinely recreate, not a made-up image.
The scheme is worked out to the length and depth of your border, so it fills beautifully without crowding.
See it free, then get the planting plan
The design is free to see. When you find a border you love, unlock its full planting plan: every plant named, how many to buy, how big each grows, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering calendar.
Professional garden designers often charge over £1,000 for this. Here it comes straight from your own design.
Good to know.
Everything people ask about the garden border planner.
How does the AI garden design work?
Upload a photo of your garden or a single border, and tell us what you'd like: refresh your borders, keeping your garden's shape, or redesign the whole space with new layout, paths and planting. Pick a style, and we generate a photorealistic redesign of your actual garden. When you love one, unlock its planting plan – every plant, how many to buy, and where each goes.
Are the plants real – can I actually buy and plant them?
Yes. Every design can become a planting plan of real, available UK plants, with quantities, each plant's mature height and spread, where it goes and a month-by-month flowering guide. The plans are built on real horticultural data and shaped by a professional gardener – not generic AI guesses – so the garden in the picture is a garden you can genuinely plant.
Do I need a special photo or camera?
No – a normal phone photo is perfect. Photograph your whole garden if it's small and simple, or one border at a time for larger or more complex gardens, where each bed has its own light and soil.
Is the first design really free, and what does it cost after?
Your first design is genuinely free, with no card required. After that, subscriptions start at £19 a month. The professional planting plan is a separate one-off you only buy if you want to make a design real.
What kinds of border can it plan?
Beautiful borders of all kinds – classic herbaceous, mixed shrub-and-perennial, or a long perennial run – in whatever style you choose, all built from real UK garden plants.
Where do I buy the plants?
Wherever suits you. The planting plan names real, widely available UK garden plants, so you can take it to any good garden centre or order them online, all at once or a bit at a time.
