Public-garden studies are incomplete references. The preview shows layout and plant representations; it does not simulate sunlight or predict yield. Account uploads are optional and explicit.

Public examples & sources

Choose a demo garden and open its plan ↓

Explore four Massachusetts gardens: Berkshire Botanical Garden, The Mount, Naumkeag and Ashintully. Compare the arrangement of beds, paths and larger garden spaces. Drawn boundaries are interpretations of maps and imagery, not surveyed measurements; planting inventories remain incomplete.

Public-garden studies are starting points for exploration, not surveyed plans or complete planting inventories. Open a garden’s information card to see its sources and uncertainties. Your edits stay in this browser unless you export a backup or explicitly save an account copy.

The 3D preview helps you compare layout and plant shapes. A generic berry or flower model represents a planting; it is not a botanical identification or a prediction of growth.

Make the plan useful

Leave room to grow—and room to garden

Try one bed first. Compare the space plants need, the path you will use to reach them, and the view from the places where you spend time.

1 · ObserveStart with the real space

Check sunlight, water access and the measurements that matter. A map is a starting point; measure your bed and paths before buying materials.

2 · ArrangePicture the mature garden

Give crops room to grow. Switch between the overhead plan and 3D preview to explore spacing and access.

3 · KeepSave an idea worth returning to
