Step 1 of 7

Snap your space

Take a photo of the garden area you'd like to redesign. A tired border, a blank bed, a forgotten corner. That photo becomes the canvas.

Where's your garden?

Your postcode tells us about your local climate — sunlight hours, rainfall patterns, and frost dates. Every recommendation will be tuned to your exact conditions.

We only use the first part (outward code) for climate data

Step 3 of 7

How much sun does it get?

Light conditions are critical for plant selection. Your postcode tells us the climate, but this tells us the specific conditions of your bed — south-facing and open, or shaded by trees and buildings.

☀️
Full Sun
Direct sunlight most of the day (6+ hours).
Part Sun / Part Shade
Mixture of sun and shade throughout the day.
🌳
Shady
Limited direct sun — under trees or north-facing.

What's your soil like?

Different plants thrive in different soils. Pick the one that best describes yours — or choose "Not sure" and we'll recommend plants that work almost everywhere.

🏺
Clay
Heavy, sticky when wet. Holds moisture well.
🏖️
Sandy
Light, drains fast. Warms up quickly in spring.
🌱
Loam
Rich, crumbly. The ideal garden soil.
🪨
Chalk
Stony, alkaline. Free-draining with white flecks.
🍂
Peat
Dark, spongy, acidic. Retains a lot of moisture.
🤷
Not sure
We'll pick versatile plants that grow almost anywhere.
