How it works

Five steps to a garden you can plant.

You don't need to know how to design a garden, or the name of a single plant. If you can take a photo, our garden designer does the rest, turning the garden you already have into one you'll love. Behind it is AI garden design built on a professional gardener's rules, so every plant it picks is one you can buy and grow.

Two ways to design

From a border refresh to a whole new garden.

Whether you want to refresh a few tired borders or completely reimagine the whole space, a small courtyard or a big back garden, you're in the right place. A garden designer would charge £1,000 or more for a design like this. Here, every design is a photorealistic picture of your actual garden, and your first 3 are free.

Why it's different

The garden you see is the garden you can plant.

Most garden apps give you a lovely picture full of plants you could never actually find. Ours works the other way round. Every design is a photorealistic redesign of your real garden, and your professional planting plan is matched to the exact picture in front of you, so the garden you fall for is the one you plant.

It keeps your garden

Your fences, paths and established trees and shrubs stay right where they are. Our garden designer works into your real space, not over the top of it.

A plan for the exact design

Your professional planting plan names every plant, how many to buy and where each one goes, all matched to the design you chose.

Only real, buyable plants

Common garden-centre favourites and proven RHS Award of Garden Merit winners, chosen by a professional gardener. Nothing you can't source.

Garden styles & ideas

Pick a feeling. We'll plant it.

Short on garden design ideas? Pick a style you love and we'll build it from a palette of real UK plants chosen for your light and soil, then bring it to life on your own photo. Or start from over 200 ready-made designs, with around 30 for cottage gardens alone.

Style previews are illustrative – the real magic is your chosen palette applied to your own garden.

Questions

Good to know.

Everything people ask before their first design.

What is Garden Design App?

Garden Design App is an online tool that turns a photo of your garden into a photorealistic redesign, and then into a real planting plan. You upload a photo, choose a style, and get back an image of your garden replanted. When you love a design, the planting plan names every UK plant, how big each grows and where each goes, so you can actually create it.

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 big each grows, 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 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.

What garden styles can I choose from?

Fifteen: cottage, modern architectural, pollinator-friendly, Mediterranean gravel, evergreen structure, prairie grasses and drifts, woodland shade, Japanese-inspired, low maintenance, formal and clipped, tropical jungle, wildflower meadow, drought-tolerant, courtyard and small space. You can also describe the look you're after in your own words – say, something low-maintenance for a shady, north-facing garden – and the design follows your brief.

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.

Why does my redesign look like high summer?

We render your garden at its peak, in full flower, so you can see how lush and full it can look. It's an artist's impression, and your real garden will change through the seasons. The planting plan that comes with it includes a month-by-month flowering calendar and plants chosen for year-round interest, so there's colour and structure well beyond the summer picture.

Is it really free, and what does it cost after?

Yes, your first 3 garden designs are free, straight away. Free designs carry a small watermark. Pro is £29 and Max £49, each one payment that covers your whole project, and every design you make with either comes with every plant named, plus a clean, higher quality image that is yours to keep. Pro makes two designs at once, Max four.

What do Pro and Max include?

Pro and Max are each one payment that covers your whole project. Pro is £29 for 14 days, 20 designs and two at once; Max is £49 for 30 days, 50 designs and four at once. Both name every plant in every design you make, with a professional planting plan for every measured border, give you clean, higher quality images that are yours to keep, and come with free designs of your garden on top: 5 with Pro, 10 with Max, in the styles you choose.

Can I change or extend Pro or Max?

Pro and Max are each one payment for a fixed number of days, so there is no plan to move up or down. If you want longer or more designs, get Pro or Max again whenever you like. Everything you have already made stays in your account for good.

What happens if I use up my designs?

Your designs and every planting plan you have taken stay yours for good. To keep designing, get Pro or Max again, or use whatever is left of your free designs.

Is there anything to cancel?

No. Pro and Max are each a single payment for a fixed number of days, so nothing recurs and there is nothing to cancel. When the days are up, your account simply goes back to free, with whatever is left of your free designs, and everything you made stays yours.

Do you offer refunds?

Because each design and planting plan is generated for you on demand, the work is done and the cost incurred the moment you create it, so purchases aren't refundable. Pro and Max are each a single payment with nothing recurring, and with your first 3 designs free you can see exactly what you're getting before you pay.

Where do I find my planting plan and PDF?

As soon as you buy a planting plan we email it to you, with the plan attached as a PDF and a link to view it online. You can also open it any time from your dashboard, where it's saved against that garden. If it's not in your inbox, give it a minute and check your spam folder.

Who's behind it?

It's built by Josh Hellicar, a professional gardener, combining real horticultural knowledge with AI image generation. The aim is simple: garden design that looks beautiful and is genuinely plantable – something the generic AI tools don't do.
