Design your garden online with Draw Me A Garden

It is not always easy to think of your garden as a whole, especially when you are not a landscaper. We are used to compound with the existing plants and to add new ones purchased here and there. Some flourish, others die quickly, and we replaced them little by little. In short, the garden is growing but without coherence and without a global vision. The advantage of designing your garden online is that you can take the time to choose, to visualize the overall rendering of the landscaped garden before planting it.

When it comes to designing and flowering your garden, it's essential to find out about exposure and sun exposure. But what's the difference between the two?

When we talk about exposure, we're talking more specifically about the plot's exposure to the wind. Is the plot protected from strong winds? Does your region have high winds? Yes, this is an important parameter that will have an impact on the way you design your garden. Many plants can suffer from strong winds and need to be positioned accordingly.

Sunshine is the amount and duration of sunlight to which the garden is exposed. In particular, it helps to determine shady areas from sunny ones, which are often underestimated when planting. Not all plants have the same development needs. So it's important to study the amount of sun your plot receives, so you can position your plants in the right place.

Spoiler alert: our garden design tool calculates exposure and sunlight levels for you!

Draw a plan is the key to success in structuring your garden project. The easiest way to do this is to start by tracing out the existing layout of your garden: fences, house outlines, terrace, garden shed, etc. Next, you'll need to integrate the paths of passage.

Next, you'll need to integrate the passageways. Garden circulation is important and needs to be considered from the outset. For passageways, avoid creating straight lines that are unattractive, in favor of attractive curves that invite you to stroll.

Once these elements have been drawn and the different areas of the garden integrated into the plan, it's time to start designing the various beds. Here again, to make the garden read more clearly, it's best to create beds with curves. This will also allow you to create zones of depth, so you can play with the size of the plants.

Of course, when positioning the plants in these beds, you need to take into account their exposure and sunlight.

Put like that, creating a garden plan sounds simple. But it takes time. To speed up the process, we can design your garden plan online.

It's not always easy to design a garden as a whole, especially if you're not a landscape gardener. We're often used to working with what's already there, adding plants as we go along.
