Garden in Place / The space planner
A little room for what grows.
Map the door, the way through, and everyday care before giving plants a place.
Before the plants
Make a plan you can live with.
Make a rough layout, record what you notice, then take the plan outside to test it. The grid has no scale: it helps you ask better questions, not prove that anything fits or is safe.
Choose a shape.
Start with the closest outline. The squares show relative space, not exact measurements.
Notice the edges.
Conditions may differ across the same space. Check each proposed pot spot at different times.
Think past day one.
Place what matters.
Choose a marker, then tap any square. Tap a marked square with the same marker to clear it.
Narrow balcony
These buttons change the drawing only. Your conditions and notes stay; changes save on this device.
Your take-away
My space plan.
This drawing is not to scale. It cannot establish plant suitability, physical fit, or balcony load capacity. Check your building rules and ask a qualified professional about structural limits when needed.
What you recorded
Take it into the real space
What comes next
The sketch is a start. Your space gives the answer.
Put a chair or empty containers in the proposed spots. Walk the route, open the door, reach every pot, and watch where water goes. Adjust the sketch after that real-world check.
