For
Homeowners and landscape designers planning regional gardens
Worth noticing
Its three regional sample gardens contain 102–171 plants each and open as editable browser copies without an account.

Field notes

The planner’s listed validation checks include zone mismatch, wet-site plants in dry beds, mature plant overlap, wall clearance, and gaps in bloom timing. Its sample gardens span three regions and include substantial plant counts; the homepage says designs can also produce CSV schedules and an OpenPlan3D-compatible file. The iOS version is presented as forthcoming, not as an available feature.
