Garden Bed Planner: Design, Organize & Plant With Confidence

Planning a garden bed is one of the most enjoyable parts of gardening. Whether you’re growing vegetables, flowers, herbs, or a mix of everything, a little planning helps you get the most out of your space. A well‑designed bed gives your plants room to grow, improves airflow, reduces disease, and makes your garden easier to maintain all season long.

To help you map out your garden, we’ve created a Garden Bed Planner Calculator you can use right here on our website, https://www.thehomeandgardenstore.com. Enter your bed size, add the plants you want to grow, and the planner will calculate how many of each plant will fit based on the spacing you choose.

How to Use the Garden Bed Planner

1. Measure Your Garden Bed

Start with the basics: measure the length and width of your bed in feet.

Even curved or irregular beds can be broken into simple rectangles.

2. Choose Your Plants

Think about:

• Sun exposure

• Soil type

• Watering needs

• Mature plant size

• How much space each plant needs

Your spacing chart (above) is a great reference for this step.

3. Add Your Plants to the Planner

You can add multiple plant types — tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, flowers, herbs, shrubs — whatever you’re growing.

4. Enter the Recommended Spacing

Spacing is usually listed on seed packets, plant tags or in another blog listed within this website.

If not, your spacing chart covers the most common plants.

5. Review Your Layout

The planner will show:

• How many plants fit per row

• How many rows fit in the bed

• Total plants per type

• Total plants in the entire bed

This helps you avoid overcrowding and gives you a clear plan before you start planting.
