Why it helps

Turn inspiration into a plan you can actually follow

Food forest ideas can quickly become overwhelming: hundreds of plants, different layers and conflicting advice. A structured project helps you decide what belongs where, how you will reach it and which assumptions still need checking.

Start from your own garden

Draw the boundary over real imagery and add the buildings, beds and features that already shape the space.

Find suitable plants

Search the public database by function, growth conditions and intended use, then save choices in a recipe.

Generate a first layout

Paint the planting area and create a proposal using your preferred density, goal and future plant-size horizon.

Design practical paths

Draw access routes or start with keyhole, mandala, loop and other adjustable templates.

Check sun and harvest

Explore indicative shade patterns and compare when selected plants may produce through the year.

Grow with the project

Start free, edit every part of the plan and add detail as your knowledge and garden develop.

From start to result

A clear workflow for complex landscapes

Start with what you know and refine the project as new information becomes available.

  1. Map what is already there

    Add the location, garden boundary and known site conditions.

  2. Choose plants and priorities

    Create a recipe and decide which layers, functions and outcomes matter to you.

  3. Generate or draw the layout

    Create a controlled starting point, refine paths and plants, then review the design before implementation.
