FloraPlot

FloraPlot turns a satellite image of your real garden into a working plan- and works out the conditions that actually decide what will grow. Trace your lawn, beds, borders, paths, greenhouse and trees over the aerial view. FloraPlot then models the sunlight, reads the soil beneath you, and matches plants to what your garden really offers. SEE YOUR GARDEN'S SUNLIGHT • Direct sun hours for every part of your garden, month by month • A heatmap over the satellite image, with a month scrubber • Your own structures cast the shadows- sheds, fences, walls, greenhouses • Trees modelled properly, with canopy density • Deciduous trees are bare in winter, so April and July give different answers • Greenhouses and polytunnels let light through instead of blocking it • Check evening sun before you site a seat or a patio • Compare layouts: see what a new shed or a felled tree would do Solar positions use the standard NOAA method, validated against US Naval Observatory data. KNOW YOUR SITE • Soil pH, organic carbon and texture for your exact coordinates • Sand, silt and clay percentages, in plain English • Local temperature, rainfall and daylight by month • Slope and aspect corrected for your latitude • Estimates are always labelled as estimates DESIGN YOUR GARDEN • Draw zones with freehand, rectangle and oval tools • Zones stay pinned to their real GPS position • Raised beds, covered growing, pond, veg patch, tree and more • Area in square metres for every zone • Snapshots to save and compare layouts CHOOSE THE RIGHT PLANTS • 600 curated plants with sun, pH, soil, height, spread and hardiness • Recommendations matched to each zone's measured conditions • Toxicity warnings from the RHS list, filtered for pets or small children • Companion planting warnings • Search 400,000+ species with Trefle STAY ON TOP OF IT • A calendar built from your own plants- sow, plant, prune, harvest • Care reminders in the iOS Reminders app • Notes, photos and costs for what you planted • Correct for both hemispheres PREMIUM- one payment, yours forever No subscription, ever: • Full shade and sunlight analysis • Up to five gardens- home, allotment, holiday cottage • The complete 600-plant database • Snapshots, raised bed controls, weather alerts, budget tracking PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account.
