Features & Capabilities

Sketch your garden in 5 minutes - simple sketching and prototyping tool for garden lovers.

An application for garden lovers and landscape designers, this tool allows you to quickly sketch garden designs and create visualizations. Primarily intended for quick prototyping and experimenting, it is simple yet powerful. Start by taking a photo of your garden, search through the plant database by filtering by size, type, or name, and add equipment (such as benches or fences) to the design. You can also finish by painting surfaces, including water, paths, or lawns.

An additional in-app purchase can unlock access to the full plant and texture database, the ability to use the device camera to take the background photo, and a four-season preview of your garden. This purchase also grants access to these features in the web and Mac apps, which can be downloaded from our website: https://gardenpuzzle.com.

User Reviews

GardenPuzzle offers a rich plant library and useful visualization features, including uploading a photo and seasonal views, which many designers praise. However, reviewers repeatedly cite stability issues (crashes, crashes saving work), high pricing with gatekeeping features, limited plant/texture options, slow performance, and cross‑device license problems that hinder multi‑device use.
Pros
  • Huge plant library with a wide selection of plants, shrubs, and trees.
  • Ability to upload your own garden photo as a background and see the design through the seasons.
  • High-quality graphics and visuals that help you show how the design will look.
  • Time-saving for landscape professionals and the ability to share designs with clients.
  • Excellent customer support with quick, responsive help.
Cons
  • Crashes and freezes, with unreliable saving of designs.
  • High price and paywalls—unlocked features and uploading may incur extra charges; cross‑device licensing issues.
  • Limited plant options and textures; not enough variety for real-world designs.
  • Slow performance and a difficult interface for resizing and placing plants; horizon line issues.
  • Cross‑device licensing problems and inability to sync purchases (e.g., desktop vs mobile).

It has absolutely no plants I need, it’s incredibly difficult to use. The total was more than what it says it is.

I so wanted this to be the perfect garden app. It really could be if they added a couple functions. They have a great selection of plants, shrubs, and trees. They allow you to upload a photo of your garden and add plants, the app creates a list of the plants you used (common names or latin), and you can see the design through the seasons. Now, please add the ability to turn that design into a plantable plan - or from a plan into a 3-D view - either would be 💓

I paid 30 bucks for this and the mobile version is awful. Read a review that said desktop is much better. In the days of phones, we should be able to use a better app, but I’ll give the desktop a try
