Something for everyone

One tool, many ways to grow.

Native Garden Planner started as a free tool for anyone to design a native garden. Now it scales with you — from a single backyard project to a shared library for your organization, to a full client workflow for your design practice.

Built on the planning tools you already love.

Every plan uses the same garden editor. Upgrading doesn’t change how you design — it expands what you can do with your designs.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a workspace to use Pro Projects?
No. Solo designers can add Pro Projects to a personal Hobbyist plan. A workspace is only needed if you want shared team assets and multiple seats.
What is Custom Planner?
Custom Planner lets nurseries, garden centers, and retailers offer their customers a branded garden planner scoped to their plant catalog. Your customers plan gardens using your plants, and you get engagement analytics. Add Storefront later to sell plants directly.
Do I need a workspace to use Custom Planner?
No. A single Hobbyist account is all you need. Upgrade to a workspace later if you want multiple team members managing your catalog and planner.
Can our master gardener program use a workspace without Pro Projects?
Absolutely. Workspace gives you shared plants, lists, modules, and a public page. Pro Projects is an optional add-on for client work.
What happens to my personal gardens when I create a workspace?
They stay on your personal account. Workspace gardens are separate and shared with your team.
Who can purchase for a workspace?
Only the workspace owner manages billing. Admins and members use the plan but don’t see billing.
What's the difference between Letter and Arch D export?
Letter is 8.5×11 for digital sharing. Arch D is 24×36 for large-format printing — ideal for client presentations and construction docs. Arch D requires Pro Projects.
Can my clients see other clients' projects?
No. Each client only sees the projects they’re invited to.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. You can upgrade to Hobbyist or create a workspace at any time. Add-ons can be added or removed from your billing page.

There’s a plan for how you grow.
