A few things to know
before you plant.
Simple answers about the plans, personalized designs and digital delivery.
Are these physical products?
No. The garden plans are digital PDF downloads. No plants, seeds or printed materials will be shipped.
What is included in a ready-made garden plan?
Each listing explains its exact contents, which may include a measured planting layout, plant list, placement guidance and a finished-garden visualization.
Can I substitute plants in a plan?
Yes. Choose plants with similar mature size, light needs and growing conditions so the layout keeps its intended balance.
How do I know whether a plan will work in my area?
Check the USDA zones and sunlight requirements shown with each plan, then compare them with your garden’s conditions before purchasing.
How does a personalized garden plan work?
After purchasing through Etsy, you’ll provide photos, measurements and details about your space. I’ll use them to create a measured layout, plant list and visualization for your garden.
Is the Garden Sun Assessment included?
The four-photo sunlight review is an optional add-on for personalized plans and is purchased separately when you need help understanding your garden’s light.
Where do I purchase and download my plan?
