🌱✌️Visual garden planner arrived (+bonus!)
Hey Permapeople,
May arrived, still cold here. Does anyone know what's going on? While it is still cold outside, we were hard at work finishing up the visual garden planner and it is now available for everyone! Let me give you a small intro, so you can jump right into creating your first pattern.
Visual Garden planner
Many people prefer planning and designing their gardens visually. We too! So we added a new way of arranging plants on a grid. That helps you plan your beds, gardens, and guilds in a much simpler way and show others how your garden looks. The screenshot above is my current front yard bed with perennial herbs and I am still looking to fill some spots with more plants.
Some more facts:
- The planner works seamlessly with lists. That means you can add a pattern to your existing lists or create new lists by designing them in the planner. It will update the list of plants automatically for you and show the list's pattern to everyone.
- The planner can be used by everyone, no need to create an account. You even can close the browser window and come back to your work later. When you want to share it, you need to log in and save it as a list.
- The planner is in its very early stages. Please let us know about any problems or new features you would like to see.

Bonus: CSV exports
From now on, everyone can export any list as CSV files, so you can reuse them wherever you want. Just open a list and hit the download button in the top action bar.Updates & Info
What to do if the season starts for you
- Sow your seeds outside, which can go out now (Peas, Beans, ... or check the database)
- Plant your seedlings outside
- If sensitive or weather still cold, do it under a cover
- Harvest first salads or radishes and get inspired for the summer harvest
- Share some with your community.
- If you have any seeds, seedlings, compost or any other material left, put it up for grabs in your neighborhood.
What to do if the season ends or you are in a tropical zone
- We are still looking for people to help us here. If you live in a tropical area or have info on what to do when, please reach out.
What happened on the platform
Thank you to everyone I reached out to and fixed their list types. We had a problem with the platform. With your help, you can browse lists now by type here. Go, get inspired!
Happy planting 🌱✌️,
Ben
