The following steps are used to design your garden using the SimpliSTICK Garden Planner



Step 1: Using all your ideas and sketches from your collection of inspiration, measure up your existing garden area and draw an outline of the space at 1:100 scale on the tear out A3 graph pages supplied. Mark approximate North and any existing structures or planting that need to be worked around.




Step 2: Start to use the supplied stickers in layers, beginning with the lower level items like paths, garden beds and grassed areas. Position any fundamental and immovable features.


 


Step 3: Continue to overlay the basic structure of your design, filling in more detail as you progress.



Step 4: Finish placing the major structural elements. Concentrate on any items that will have a direct bearing on plantings.
 


Step 5: Begin adding the finer details of underplanting and items above floor level.



Step 6: Finally add all the remaining items needed to bring the design together. Add labels to show key elements.


 



Here's a few examples of the what to expect from the Simplistick Garden Planner!












"Don’t underestimate the therapeutic value of gardening. It’s the one area where we can all use our nascent creative talents to make
a truly satisfying work of art. Every individual, with thought, patience and a large portion of help from nature, has it in them to create their own private paradise: truly a thing of beauty and a joy for ever."
