Use your mouse to "drag-and-drop" hundreds of different plants to see how their colors and shapes work together. Add in dozens of structures like sheds, fences, gates, and even fountains and fire pits. You can play around with fun elements like garden gnomes, basketball hoops, and swing sets, too. It's easy to experiment with pathways and lawn areas around all of these features. Let us help you build your dream garden! Try Our Free Plan-A-Garden App Image courtesy of Plan-A-Garden.

You can experiment with trees, shrubs, perennials, and more for your landscape, which you can filter by type, size, and sunlight needs. A search bar makes it easy to pinpoint a specific plant you might be looking for. Image courtesy of Plan-A-Garden. Provide Structure For some, a landscape is not complete without a few accent structures and focal points. In the Structures tab of the Plan-A-Garden app, add in sheds, gazebos, and gates to customize your space. You'll also find different styles of containers, benches, lighting, and other accessories to suit your style. Image courtesy of Plan-A-Garden.
