Ready-Made Garden Plans
Laid-out beds you can open in the Garden Designer and change however you like. Each one is arranged so tall plants don't shade short ones and nothing sits next to a plant it fights with, and each opens with sowing dates worked out for your own zone.
Free, no account, nothing to install. If you'd rather start from nothing, the designer does that too.
- A beginner's 4x4 square-foot garden
A first raised bed that fits sixteen squares: two tomatoes, salad, roots and a companion flower, arranged so the tall plants don't shade the short ones.
- A 4x8 salsa garden
One 4x8 bed that grows everything in a jar of salsa: tomatoes, peppers, onions and cilantro, with basil and marigold worked in as companions.
- A kids' first garden
A 4x4 bed chosen for speed and payoff: radishes up in a week, sunflowers overhead, beans to pick standing up, and nasturtiums you can eat.
- A cut-and-come-again salad bed
A 4x4 bed that keeps producing salad instead of giving you everything at once: leaves you cut rather than pull, plus roots and chives.
- A high-yield 4x8 bed for a small urban plot
A 4x8 bed built around crops that keep producing rather than one-and-done crops: trellised peas and cucumbers on the north edge, beans, chard, bok choy, lettuce and carrots filling the rest.
- A no-conflict 3x6 beginner bed
Eighteen squares of crops with zero listed antagonists against each other, so a first-time gardener can plant this exactly as laid out without checking a companion chart.
