Design Your Garden
in Minutes

Yes, Selfseed is completely free to use. You upload your garden photo, answer questions about light and soil, and receive a complete AI planting plan — species, quantities, spacing, and estimated costs — at no charge. No account required.

No. Selfseed works entirely in your browser on any device — desktop, tablet, or mobile. There is nothing to download or install. Simply visit selfseed.co.uk on your phone while standing in your garden and start designing.

The AI designs planting plans using UK climate zones, your specific light conditions (full sun, partial shade, full shade), soil type, and garden style preferences. Plans are generated for your exact conditions, not generic recommendations.

Yes. The garden planner is fully responsive and works on mobile browsers. You can upload a photo from your phone, tablet, or desktop. Many gardeners start their design on a phone while taking photos in the garden.

Each plan includes a visual garden layout with plant positions, a full species list with common and botanical names, plant quantities, spacing guidance, bloom periods, height at maturity, care instructions, and estimated costs from UK garden suppliers. You also receive a shareable link.

Yes. Selfseed adapts to any garden size, from a small urban courtyard to a large country garden. It also has a dedicated container garden planner that targets smaller spaces, patios, and balconies. The AI adjusts plant counts and spacing to your actual garden dimensions.

Selfseed designs plans across seven garden styles: cottage, contemporary/minimalist, prairie/naturalistic, woodland/shade, Mediterranean, tropical, and gravel garden. You choose your preferred style during the questionnaire and the AI generates a scheme to match.

Yes. You can describe your garden dimensions instead of uploading a photo — enter your bed length and width, and the tool produces an equally detailed plan. Both methods generate full planting schemes with the same level of detail.
