Although this tool is built around square foot gardening, it works just as well as a flexible allotment planner.
Whether you’re working with a full plot, a half plot, or a few raised beds, you can quickly map out what fits where and adjust your layout before planting anything. With this planner, you can:
Using a simple grid makes it much easier to visualise space, avoid overcrowding, and organise crops in a way that actually works in real conditions. It’s less about following strict rules, and more about giving yourself a clear, flexible starting point.
Planning your layout before planting helps prevent overcrowding, improve crop rotation, and maximise yields throughout the season. Square foot gardening divides your growing space into manageable grid sections, making it easier to space plants correctly and rotate crops year to year.
Using the Square Foot Garden Planner above, you can quickly design and test different layouts before planting anything in the soil.
Choose your bed size using the width and height controls
Add vegetables to the grid from the crop list on the right
Experiment with different layouts to optimise spacing and companion planting
Export your finished plan as an image or PDF once you’re happy with the design
Because the planner lets you test different combinations, you can adjust crop placement, improve spacing, and refine your garden layout in minutes.
