Garden Design AI vs FloraPlot

Garden Design AI is a planning studio for people who garden. Photograph your plot, choose what should change, and see a realistic redesign in seconds. Then see it through four seasons and learn the craft as you go. SEVEN DESIGN TOOLS • Redesign — your photo in one of 34 planting styles, from English Cottage to Xeriscape • Match a Style — borrow the planting, palette and mood of a garden you love • Add Something — a pond, a pergola, a fountain, a gravel walkway. Tap a pictured idea or describe your own • Remove Something — the shed, the tired lawn, the overgrown corner • Replace Something — fence to hedge, lawn to meadow, concrete to stone • Imagine a Garden — no photo needed, start from a description • Four Seasons — one sheet showing a design in spring, summer, autumn and winter, same camera, same layout LEARN A built-in field guide, written for home gardeners: • Plan — reading sun and shade, knowing your soil, finding your hardiness zone, measuring your plot, bed shapes, paths and flow • Plant — layering heights, colour schemes, pollinator planting, drought-tolerant planting, small spaces, containers, kitchen gardens • Build — patios, pergolas, ponds, lighting, fences and hedges, raised beds • Care — watering, mulching, pruning, lawns, a garden for four seasons • Tools of the trade — fifteen hand tools, what each is for and how to use it • This month in the garden — a task calendar for every month, adjusted for your hemisphere and climate Every guide ends with a one-tap link into the tool it talks about. MY GARDEN Keep the designs you love, browse everything you have rendered, save to Photos or share. Designs are AI renders for inspiration and planning. Check plant suitability and any building work with a local nursery or professional before you dig. Find our EULA here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

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 • See how your trees will change each part of the garden as they reach full size- and be warned before planting something long-lived where it will not stay suitable PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account.
