Garden Layout Planner

A raised bed, an allotment plot or an open vegetable patch -- sketch it here, drop in the crops you want to grow, and the planner works out spacing, bed layout and crop rotation for you. It's free, and it works the same way whether you garden in the UK, the USA or Canada -- the layout tool is the same everywhere; only the sowing dates in each region's own planting calendar differ.

Which region are you gardening in? UK growing guides · USA growing guides · Canada growing guides · Global growing guides.

How to plan a raised bed with this planner

1. Sketch your bed's real dimensions (a standard raised bed is often 4ft x 8ft, but draw yours to scale).
2. Add the crops you want to grow -- the planner sizes each one to its own spacing requirement, so nothing gets crowded.
3. Check the layout it gives you for crop rotation and companion placement before you commit seed to soil.
