Why choose this AI garden design tool

Diagram: ZIP 02139 resolving to hardiness Zone 6b, then a species list ticked or crossed by whether it survives that zone

Plants that live where you live

Your ZIP resolves to a winter-temperature zone. The planting reference is filtered by recorded zone and sunlight values. It cannot account for soil, drainage, summer heat, care or every cultivar difference. A generated image is not a species identification.

Spaced for the size they'll reach

Nursery pots lie about scale. A shrub sold at knee height may want six feet of width in four years, and a bed planted at pot spacing is a bed you thin out twice. The garden design tool spaces each group by its mature spread.

A photo and a plant list

Use the AI garden designer’s render to explain the look you want. The plant palette is filtered for your hardiness zone and sunlight; quantities and plant costs are reference estimates for an assumed border layout. New paths, seating or water features can reduce planting space, so confirm the final layout and quantities on site.

How to use the AI garden design planner

Photograph the space
One daylight shot of the bed or yard from where you usually stand. Include the house wall or fence if there is one — it sets the scale.
Add your ZIP and bed size
The ZIP sets your hardiness zone. Width, depth and available sun decide how many plants fit and which of them will thrive there.
Take the list shopping
Out comes the planted render and the species list behind it. Change the sun setting or the bed size and run it again.

AI garden design FAQ

Is it free?

Explore one garden design with a free watermarked preview, without signing up. The allowance is shared with other tools. A paid plan provides the clean original and credit-based further changes.

How are plants matched to my garden?

The planting reference uses your supported location and sunlight choice to filter recorded hardiness ranges and light requirements. Review mature sizes and spacing as you plan your bed.

How many plants will I need?

The reference quantities use mature spread and an assumed border layout derived from your dimensions. They are not counted from the generated image. If you change paths, beds or other features, remeasure the remaining planting space before buying.

Is it realistic enough to show a landscaper?

As a brief, yes — species, quantities and spacing are all things a contractor can quote against, and the render tells them the look you are after. It is not a planting plan drawn to scale, so expect them to adjust it against what they find on site.

Is this the front-yard page or the patio page?

Neither. This one is a planting bed: species that get through your winter, how far apart, and how many to buy. The front-yard page is the view from the street across the whole property. The enclosed-yard page is the space behind the house, planted around the patio you already have.

Does it handle hardscaping or drainage?

You can request a path, patio, seating area or water feature as a visual concept. Existing features stay by default; explicit requests can change them and the adjacent lawn or beds. The image does not calculate drainage, foundations or structural details; a contractor must resolve those on site.

How can I prepare my garden before planting?

Review the suggested mature sizes and spacing, measure the planting area and check its sunlight, soil and drainage. Bring the reference list to a local nursery to discuss suitable varieties and care.
